From eGov to mGov
it is the strategy and its implementationinvolving the utilization of all kinds ofwireless and mobile technology, services,applications and devices for improvingbenefits to the parties involved in e-government including citizens, businessesand all government units
A fertile field of research and practice An inevitable direction of eGov, which will
naturally follow…

Mobile Government: examples
Technology related• High level of mobile penetration all over the
world• Evolution of mobile internet technologies,
standards and protocols allowing faster andmore sophisticated (voice and multi-media)application developments.
• Increasing trends in the adoption of mobileinternet applications and services in the mobilebusiness arena.
Drivers of mGovernment
others• Increased citizens’ expectations from e-
government• Increased efficiency and effectiveness, and
cost reduction considerations of governments• Supporting economic development, especially
for rural areas of developing countries• Promoting increased participation, quality of
transparency and better democracy.
Drivers of mGovernment
mGovernment is not only about thetechnology or applications
It is more about solving real problems andimproving the way people live -
It is more about “mPowering” - the public organizations,
Mobile working, organizational change the society
Useful and usable applications and services Participative citizens
Life style and mPowering
Mobility brings in a new“life style”
The Powers of Mobility
On personal and primary relations the society in general, and the economy - welfare and development
mPowering Individuals influence on the personal life and primary
relations. accessibility, liberation, safety, identity, status and confidence, efficiency in communications, communications and connectedness fun, privacy, organized life, time management, efficiency in daily activities, etc.
The 6 Cs of the Mobile Technologies!

mobile devices and mobile communication limitations concise, to-the-point, location based service delivery
protecting privacy and providing security for the dataand interactions
Regulating and developing legal aspects of mobileapplications and the use of services.
mGov challenges
mGovernment is inevitable and growingfast
It is only tip of the iceberg towardspervasive society and interactions
Involve “parties” to create a natural fit in the responsive public organizations an “able society” who can benefit
Conclusions - Future directions
Conclusions - mDevelopment
Planned contributions as part ofintroducing a new technology to thecountries
Contributions that are not so muchexpected emerge from the over all effortsin this area.
Local solutions towards globalchallenges
mDevelopment may be seen as an emergent property
of dynamics resulting from mPowered Indviduals, mPowered societies and
mPowered economies.
