Why is mobile commerce (m-commerce) maturing much later in North America than in Western Europe and Japan?

What will be an ideal response?


The market for m-commerce in North America is maturing much later than in Western Europe and Japan for several reasons. In North America, responsibility for network infrastructure is fragmented among many providers, consumer payments are usually made by credit card, and many Americans are unfamiliar with mobile data services. In most Western European countries, communicating via wireless devices is common, and consumers are much more willing to use m-commerce. Japanese consumers are generally enthusiastic about new technology and are much more likely to use mobile technologies for making purchases.
