Bubamara/mobile governmentMobile Government, sometimes referred to as mGovernment, is the extension of eGovernment to mobile platforms, as well as the strategic use of government services and applications which are only possible using mobile telephones and wireless internet infrastructure. For example, in an emergency, a mass alert can be sent to registered citizens via short message service, or SMS. Proponents of mGovernment argue that the ubiquity of these devices mandates their employment in government functions. To quote mGovernment theorist and proponent Ibrahim Kuchshu, "As e-business evolves towards m-business, eGovernment seems to follow the trend with a few but significant mobile government (mGovernment) applications." Benefits of mGovernment include: * added convenience and flexibility * ability to reach a larger number of people through mobile devices than would be possible using wired internet only Issues with mGovernment include: * wireless and mobile networks and related infrastructure, as well as software, must be developed. * In order to increase citizen participation and provide citizen-oriented services, governments need to offer easy access to mGovernment information in alternative forms, possibly, using video and voice communications (3G). * mobile phone numbers and mobile devices are relatively easily hacked and wireless networks are vulnerable because they use public airwaves to send signals. * Many countries have not yet adopted legislation for data and information practices, which spell out the rights of citizens and the responsibilities of the data holders (government).
