Denmark: M-commerce not developed yet

Article Abstract:

Payments via the mobile Internet has not yet found a market in Denmark in spite of the advantages that the mobile phone can offer, according to the paper. The mobile phone needs a personal identification to operate, just as a payment card. Furthermore, the SIM card is as spread as Dankortet, the Danish payment card. Finally, the mobile phone is as safe as a payment card, maybe even safer. In order to make m-commerce more popular content producers, banks and mobile operators have to co-operate in producing a system that is big enough for all to profit from. Secondly, customers have to accept payments via the mobile phone. This demands a correlation between price and quality, not as today when customers are offered to down load ring signals and logotypes for high costs.
