For viewers who have no idea of our poll question or don’t know the answer, here are the brief explanations of 3 Types of M-Commerce:
There are 3 type of M-commerce, which is Premium Content, Remote Payment and Point-of-sale. Premium Content is where special or expensive content is offered to the phone subscriber. It depends a lot on the phone technology that is 3G (3rd generation) or 4G (4th generation). 3G phones are available in almost every country however there are only a few countries like Japan and South Korea with 4G technologies enabled. These services include like video, music and stock exchange information. Remote Payment is largely similar to E- Commerce on the web. It basically refers to the online payment of money whereby the one paying is in a different location from the one receiving. This is supported in m-commerce through secure payment connections. The last and third type is point-of-sale this refers to commerce in which the mobile device is used as a point of sale. This is possible if the device can access the online store. These devices are not the typical mobile devices but are capable of accessing higher content. They are usually WAP enabled and can access xml and java components as well.

Mandate Mobile Payment Protections

Regarding the latest news which have highlighted on how consumers in the U.S. are soon able to pay for products and services with a wave of their smart phones. However with this convinience, certain risks pose a threat as with the threat of losing money when mistakes are made by the dealers and also there may be con men that would convince a consumer to fall for their phishing site and cheat them of their money. Although the federal law protects the consumers if there is a los of credit card or debit card, but there is a lacking in the current protection to all new types of payments. Credit cards provide protections in case of bank errors, unauthorized use, and disputes with the dealers, but debit cards provide only protections for bank errors and unauthorized use, not for disputes with the dealers. If the Federal Reserve Board fails to act, Consumers Union noted that the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created under the recently passed financial reform legislation has the authority to address unfair payment practices.
