Title: The key success to mobile internet in the Middle East: wireless set to take the lead
Abstract: The new and rapidly growing field of mobile internet, which combines laptop computers, wireless fax/modems, mobile phones and pagers will change and have changed the face of communication. Without a doubt, the emergence of standards such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), iMode, General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Third Generation (3G) and Fourth Generation (4G) will drive wireless internet forward. The process through which these technologies are adopted and used in developing nations is important to understand for this reason. This research proposes to increase the understanding of mobile internet diffusion processes and the use of internet applications to advance the economic productivity of the Kingdom of Jordan, where the new King's recent technology initiative appears to be aimed at leveraging the internet as a means of national competitive advantage.
