1 "m-commerce in its true form is the ability to charge an amount of currency to a mobile phone either by applications like Mobillcash or Near Field Communications,the amount to be charged is actually taken from the Mobile device's account or pre loaded RFID chip". It is a prime example of telecommunication convergence, both horizontal (it happens on a mobile device) and vertical (it can involve any product).
