end outreach required to drive consumer acceptance. Furthermore, Isis encouraged consideration that, even while carriers were obviously looking for fresh sources of steady income for a cellular company experiencing continuous price compression, the other assets they brought to the mobile table were quite crucial to evaluate in the final business case. They were a suitable partner for mobile commerce indeed in their capacity to run large networks under fast change and in their ability to incorporate constantly changing technology with continuous risk management The largest revelation was the possibility that carriers, who gather unique handset identification numbers, the cell phone number associated with a registered account, a location over a specific network, and other verifying data, could become valuable fraud mitigating partners with banks, which know a purchase buyer's registered account number, associated authenticating information, bank account history and headed direction....

Mobile payments call for many industry players cooperating. Should cooperation prove challenging, adoption will be postponed. Legal constraints or a culture of mistrust generate difficulty since the sector consists of many small players who are diverse and have somewhat distinct interests. Every one of these problems influences the development of mobile payments Industry-wide agreements on technology standards and business regulations are exceedingly difficult to coordinate and negotiate to reach consensus given there are over 16,000 banks and credit unions but just four main mobile carriers (who account for about 90% of the phones used) in the United States. Although bilateral discussions between a single bank and a single carrier are more simpler, the market share of consumers having accounts with both the bank and the carrier for any given pair of institutions is probably minimal, therefore reducing the value of any resultant agreement. It becomes more complex with the several pa...

Boratories have also attracted a lot of attention in connection to enhancing the general learning process. Virtual labs create a special setting for offering "hands-on" education on an online platform. Virtual labs offer a reasonably priced way for teaching interactive materials as the spread of online and other non-co-located education calls for (Li & Mohammed, 2008 Wolf, 2009). In various fields, including networking (RuizMartinez et al., 2013; Wolf, 2009) and computer security (Willems & Meinel, 2012; Xu et al., 2013), virtual labs have shown helpful By allowing students to engage with computing components and devices, these virtual labs help to provide insightful analysis of device connectivity and interactivity free of the overhead of personal hardware and software. Although gamification and virtual laboratories both offer great benefits for education, little study has looked at gamification inside the framework of virtual labs, therefore creating a gap where r...

connecting via video platforms. Program personnel pointed out the challenges to creating real connections via video conferences. Staff members find it challenging to enable spontaneous, casual talks that let young people build mutual trust. When most people on a call keep their cameras and mics off, for instance, a young person telling a personal tale or making a joke  could feel uneasy or uncomfortable about their friends' lack of response. This could deter their future participation as well  Developing ties with young people just starting a program. Starting a relationship digitally is difficult; far easier to maintain an already-existing relationship via technology  Program personnel say this results from both uncomfortable sharing about p ersonal experiences with people they do not know well and from emotions of unfamiliarity and remoteness.  rather Missing physical locations where young people might gather and connect. At one company we visited, the Alaska Nativ...

In our study we focused on smart home hubs rather than individual smart devices since hubs provide platforms on which smart homes are constructed and also an interface via which consumers interact and control their smart home. Examining seven smart home hubs Amazon Echo, Apple Home, Google Home, Phillips Hue, SmartThing, Vera, and Wink we looked at To assess every smart home hub, we built independent testbeds incorporating the smart home hub, two sensors a motion sensor and a door sensor an actuator smart power outlet nd a router. We sought to explore each smart house from three different angles: the primary user, inhabitant user who secondary user, other occupant users of the smart house, and guest user, non-occupant users who might visit the property just for a few hours or days. We so set three cell phones in each house, one for every type of user Working as professional end users, we evaluated the smart homes in a lab setting for one week. First, using historical studies on end u...

Changes in state legislation on distribution policies could negatively affect our business practices States where we have a strong sales presence could pass laws that fundamentally changes the competitive landscape for the beer distribution sector. Any modification in the competitive climate in those states could have negative consequences on our future sales and operational performance as well as on the financial stability of wholesalers on which we depend We might run low on kegs required for distribution of draft beer We distribute our draft beer from kegs under our ownership. In times when we see higher sales, we might have to rely on kegs leased from A-B to meet the extra demand. Should draft beer shipments rise, we could find ourselves short of kegs to meet sales orders. Should our keg needs not be satisfied by either lease or purchase, we could have to postpone some draft shipings. Such delays could hurt relationships with distributors and A-B as well as sales Sales could suffe...
