Abstract

Since the early 2010s, the rapid growth of smart phone adoption has transformed mobile phone to not only a device for voice services, but also a multimedia device from camera, music players, internet browsers, high quality video and even an alternative method of payment. With a number of social and economic benefits of mobile internet and mobile payment, it is important to understand what determines the use of mobile internet and mobile payment. The objectives of this study are to explore what determines mobile internet and mobile payment adoption by analysing and reviewing previous studies on the determinants of mobile internet and mobile payment in the past decades. The findings are that security and privacy of services, price of services, quality of services, availability of services, income of users, age of users, education level of users, and users’ attitudes affect the adoptions. In addition, applying broadband ecosystem concept can support the explanation of the development of mobile internet and mobile payment on broadband policy.
