A new study shows m-government initiatives are popular among users

Mobile services in Oman have been the focus of a new study by an SQU researcher. The work has looked into the ICT sector and current m-government initiatives in Oman in order to understand the key factors to their adoption and diffusion. Dr Syed Jafat Naqvi, who conducted the investigation at the College of Economics and Political Science, says the popularity of mobile devices, in the country, is on the rise, thus, creating more opportunities for the m-services. There are clear potentials to these services in Oman and the government can consider more mobile applications in parallel with the current e-government projects for modernisation of the public administration. The current m-government initiatives, he points out, are getting popular with users, which emphasises the possibility of m-government to be a driving force for more e-government adoption and dissemination.
