A location-based business service model for mobile commerce

Mobile commerce has two characters that are fundamentally unique to traditional e-commerce: local business orientation and dynamic user context. These characteristics call for improvements of business service models and the information technology infrastructure. This paper proposes a business information centre model, called l-hub, to support local businesses by providing better mobile services for consumers. The implementation aspects of this model are examined.
