Abstract
S’appuyant sur les résultats d’études statistiques menées en Finlande et sur ses propres recherches qualitatives concernant l’utilisation du téléphone mobile, et notamment les services Wap et SMS, l’auteur s’interroge sur les lenteurs d’adoption du Wap et, plus généralement, sur l’usage interactionnel des services mobiles, malgré un contexte d’adoption rapide des technologies mobiles dans ce pays. Il tente également d’analyser les nouvelles tendances que sont le recentrage stratégique vers une technologie du consommateur, le glissement des services mobiles autonomes vers des services de support utilisateur et la diversification des plates-formes et services technologiques, parallèlement à l’extension des segments de consommation.
This paper draws on results of empirical studies undertaken in Finland, and on the author’s own qualitative research on use of the mobile telephone, with a particular focus on WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) and SMS (Short Message Service) services. It examines the low adoption rate of WAP and, more generally, of use of interactional mobile services, despite a context of fast adoption of mobile technologies in that country. It also considers three emerging, interrelated trends in mobile communications R&D: strategic shift in focus from the technology as such to customer-oriented technology; a move from freestanding mobile services to user-support mobile services; and diversification of technical platforms and services in line with the expansion of customer segments.
