M-Commerce first began with “the use of wireless POS (Point Of Sale) swipe terminals and has since then made its way into cellular phones and PDA's (Personal Digital Assistants).” (Kumar, 2010) The first time m-commerce really became more available to the public was during the introduction 2.5G network, when users could begin to surf the internet from their mobile devices. Since then, m-commerce has become a strong and intricate part of the current and most popular 3G network. It is believed that it will be an even stronger asset to the 4G network when that becomes more widely available to the public. (Kumar, 2010)
