Who uses mobile money And what is mobile money used for This paper describes the mobile money adoption patterns following the experimental introduction of mobile money services for the first time in rural areas of Southern Mozambique. In particular, we examine

Offline model guard: Secure and private ML on mobile devices
free download

Performing machine learning tasks in mobile applications yields a challenging conflict of interest: highly sensitive client information (eg, speech data) should remain private while also the intellectual property of service providers (eg, model parameters) must be protected

The Impact of Regulations on Investment in Mobile Telephone Infrastructure in Southern African Development Community Countries
free download

The main objective of the study was to investigate the impact of policy regulations on investments in mobile telecommunications network infrastructure in all the 15 member countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. The research

Customer resistance to churn in a mature mobile telecommunications market
free download

Effective customer retention is critical for company survival, especially in a mature mobile telecommunications market. To build on customer retention research, we propose an integrative model capturing the dual relational mechanisms that explain customer resistance Moving forward through the twenty-first century, increasingly sophisticated mapping and gaming methods will likely become available. The melding of these two topics is embodied in the augmented reality mobile app game Ingress, developed by Niantic Labs. Ingress can
