  2. 1. Quasi-subscribers in the Swedish Mobile Phone Market: The Phenomenon and Determinant Factors

    Author : Tsani Annafari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; quasi-subscribers; diffusion process; multiple subscriptions; inter-operator multiple subscriptions; intra-operator multiple subscriptions; Mobile phone;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the problematic inaccuracies of mobile phone density as a measure on access and use of mobile phones. The inaccuracies are presumably caused by the presence of quasi-subscribers - mobile phone users with multiple active SIM cards or subscriptions - that exaggerate the actual number of mobile phone users.

  4. 2. Understanding mobile service diffusion as an evolutionary process: A study of the Swedish market

    Author : Tsani Annafari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social evolution; mobile service; Innovation diffusion; variation; data granularity; diffusion modeling; selective retention;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to highlight the connections between the diffusion of innovation theory and the evolutionary models for technological changes within the context of mobile communication research. On the basis of empirical findings, the discussion focuses on addressing three research questions: Why should mobile service diffusion be understood as an evolutionary process? How should mobile service diffusion be explained and modelled using evolutionary conceptions? And in what way the evolutionary framework could influence future mobile service diffusion studies?Based on empirical observations and a literature study, this thesis argues that mobile service diffusion involves dynamic, developmental and historical economic process which is comparable to an evolutionary process.
