Full textAbstract:
In this paper I present an ex post review of the failure of mobile private investment to contribute to the formation of competitive industry agglomerations in the UK's old industrial regions. The UK's industrial districts were the inspiration for the concept of external economies with which we understand the competitiveness of agglomerations of economic activity. Yet long-standing disarticulation between UK government inward investment, regional, industrial, and technology policy has ensured that mobile investment (notably, but not exclusively, foreign direct investment) has rarely contributed to the genesis of competitive agglomerations of new economic activity. Up until the 1980s the nature of mobile investment actually offered considerable scope for successive UK governments to leverage on synergies between it and established industry specialisms in the formation of viable new agglomerations of economic activity. Since the 1980s the difficulties of creating synergies between new mobile and existing industry arguably have increased, leaving new regional economic strategies as little more than wishful thinking regarding the formation of new agglomerations of knowledge-based economic activity.

El presente documento tiene por objetivo analizar el impacto de la introducción de impuestos en la industria de telefonía móvil. Un impuesto común en este sector es el canon cobrado para financiar las actividades de fiscalización y supervisión del uso del espectro radioeléctrico. Con tal fin, se modificó el modelo de competencia entre redes móviles propuesto por Laffont, Rey yTirole (1998), para lo que se introdujo tres diferentes estructuras impositivas: un impuesto específico por cada minuto de telefonía móvil (impuesto de tipo I), un impuesto en función de la participación de mercado de cada una de las redes (impuesto de tipo II) y un impuesto lump-sum (impuesto de tipo III). Como resultado del modelo se obtiene que las firmas consiguen trasladar a los consumidores el total del impuesto (disminuyendo el excedente del consumidor) cuando la estructura impositiva es tipo I y II. Por el contrario, cuando el impuesto es de tipo III, los precios y las cantidades de equilibrio, así como el excedente del consumidor, se mantienen constantes.---The present document has for aim analyze the impact of the introduction of taxes in the industry of mobile telephony. A common tax in this sector is the canon received to finance the activities of taxation and supervision of the use of the radio spectrum. With such an end, the competition model between mobile networks proposed by Laffont, Rey and Tirole (1998), was modified introducing three different tax structures: a tax I specify in every minute of mobile telephony (TaxType I), a tax depending on the participation of market of each one of the networks (tax type II) and a tax lump-sum (Tax Type III). Since results of the model, obtains that the signatures manage to move the consumers the whole of the tax (diminishing the consumer surplus) when the tax structure is a type I and type II. On the contrary, when the tax is of type III, the prices and the quantities of balance, as well as the surplus of the consumer, they have been keeping constant.

Mobile money could be a recent innovation that gives money dealings services via transportable, as well as to the unbanked international poor. The technology has unfolded speedily within the developing world, “leapfrogging” the availability of formal banking services by finding the issues of weak institutional infrastructure and also the value structure of typical banking. Mobile money may be a technology for grouping, saving, and pocket money on a mobile phone. Mobile cash may be a common various to cash and banks as a result of a transportable signal is simple to use, safe, and use anyplace. These users can win monetary lives, magnified monetary inclusion, economic direction, and economic process. This review provides a summary of the processes and impacts of mobile cash transfers in the developing world as well as the advantages and challenges facing this new technology. Over the past decade, mobile cash services have become a current tool in some developing economies, allowing people to interact with cash digitally while they do not have formal bank accounts.

The growth of mobile phones and the internet technologies have greatly improved access to information and encompassed the social and business world. From the Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD) perspective, researchers are interested in whether mobiles promote or enable economic growth or broader well-being. In developing countries, a successful model in one country cannot easily be replicated in another country. This study investigates the factors that may lead to adopting mobile commerce in a developing country in South Asia.

In this contribution to the inaugural issue of Mobile Media & Communication, I draw upon recent work on mobiles in the global south to illustrate how the ‘third wave’ of mobile communication research requires a renewed focus upon the political and economic dimensions of infrastructures and the subversion of the system by individuals, communities and organizations. Inspired by Susan Leigh Star’s seminal work on the importance of studying infrastructures, I suggest that mobile media scholarship should look to the changes in the technical, social, political, regulatory and other forms of infrastructures that the first two waves’ focus upon novel uses and consumers often rendered invisible.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of mobile workforces to support diversified resource extraction activities, compared to historically single-industry towns, represents a key change in rural and remote resource landscapes that has accelerated since the 1980s. Mobile workforces can present many opportunities to rural communities and economies. However, the capacity, viability and competitiveness of rural-based businesses to engage in supply chains serving mobile labour may be undermined by limited attention to how businesses manoeuvre downturns while maintaining a level of readiness to recover and scale-up in order to meet emerging mobile workforce needs. Drawing upon interviews with businesses in Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada, our research uses the concept of resiliency to examine challenges and strategies associated with business capacity and agility to scale-up and scale-down in response to changing economic conditions associated with large-scale mobile workforces and related economic sectors. Our findings suggest that the capacity to scale-up and scale-down is shaped by capital, human resource and infrastructure strategies, inventory management and contract management strategies. Industry and state policies may also play a role supporting the conditions that will improve the agility, capacity and readiness of businesses operating in volatile resource-based economies.

Full textAbstract:
Mobile payment has a pronounced impact on the consumption mode of various industries and provides new clues for sustainable consumption. This study aims to explore the role of perceived risk and perceived technology on sustainable consumption intention and behavior. Moreover, it proposes the structural equation model of mobile payment for sustainable consumption behavior. 574 participants from Chinese higher education institutions filled in the questionnaire. The bootstrapping method was used to solve the problem of mediating factors. Amos 26.0 helped to construct structural equation models. The study determined the negative effect of the perceived mobile payment risk on the perceived mobile payment usefulness, perceived mobile payment ease of use, and sustainable consumption intention. Moreover, the three variables have a particular buffer in the relationship between perceived mobile payment risk and sustainable consumption behavior. Furthermore, perceived mobile payment usefulness positively impacts sustainable consumption intention, and they have a chain-mediated effect on the relationship between perceived mobile payment risk and sustainable consumption behavior. The same effect also occurs in the relationship between perceived mobile payment ease of use and sustainable consumption intention.

Full textAbstract:
Small island nations face a number of challenges in achieving economic development. The small size of these nations means they lack the economic density required to take advantage of economies of scale and specialization, and the distance from larger markets raises transportation costs and limits their ability to be part of global production networks. In meeting these challenges the telecommunications industry has a vital role to play. Telecommunications reform has meant the introduction of competition into parts of the industry (mobile phone, long distance, and Internet). In this paper, the growth of mobile phone use is observed and analysed. The findings are that growth of the sector has taken place at a varied rate across the various nations studied, and that lower mobile phone prices are associated with more competition and independent regulation.

In the United States, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and several emerging economies in Asia, mobile technologies have become ubiquitous and core to everyday lives. The same cannot be said for many countries in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). The availability, affordability and use of information and communication technology (ICT) continue to pose a major challenge to the progress of this important emerging economy and their participation in a networked and “flat world.” Writers (Bishop et al., 1999; ADB, 2003; Fisher et al., 2004; Elijah & Ogunlade, 2006; Etim, 2009; Ssewanyana, 2007) argue for the use of ICT to enable the SSA population in the area of economic and personal development. This paper examines the emerging economy of SSA adoption of mobile technologies in comparison to the U.S.A and reports a study on the features that SSA students desire in mobile phones. The key finding was that study participants desired Internet access via mobile phones.

Full textAbstract:
Access to and use of mobile telephony in sub-Saharan Africa has increased dramatically over the past decade. Mobile telephony has brought new possibilities to the continent. Across urban–rural and rich–poor divides, mobile phones connect individuals to individuals, information, markets, and services. These effects can be particularly dramatic in rural Africa, where in many places mobile phones have represented the first modern telecommunications infrastructure of any kind. Mobile phones have greatly reduced communication costs, thereby allowing individuals and firms to send and to obtain information quickly and cheaply on a variety of economic, social, and political topics. An emerging body of research shows that the reduction in communication costs associated with mobile phones has tangible economic benefits, improving agricultural and labor market efficiency and producer and consumer welfare in specific circumstances and countries. This paper first examines the evolution of mobile phone coverage and adoption in sub-Saharan Africa over the past decade. We then explore the main channels through which mobile phones can effect economic outcomes and appraise current evidence of its potential to improve economic development. We conclude with directions for future research and outline the necessary conditions for mobile phones to promote broader economic development in Africa.

This paper examines the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on output growth in Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Sudan, Kenya, and Ghana. We use annual data on GDP (PPP) to proxy economic growth whilst internet users, mobile phone users, telephone users, personal computers users, and school enrolment (tertiary) covering from 1990 – 2013 were used to proxy ICT. The data were analysed in a dynamic panel environment using the 2SLS method. The robustness of the 2SLS result was confirmed by the GMM regression. The results imply a positive relationship between ICT and economic growth in accord with earlier studies. Few of the earlier studies investigate the causality aspect of the relationship and the few that did use ICT directly without resolving it into its sub-variables as done in this study. The Granger causality test results indicate that only fixed wireless communication system Granger cause GDPPPP out of the five predictors suggesting that the other ICT predictors merely associate with GDP not necessarily Granger cause it as most of the earlier studies erroneously suggest. The policy implication is that the affected countries should give policy priority to development of ICT infrastructure with specific emphasis on the fixed wireless communication system as precursors for ensuring sustainable growth in the medium and long - term.

Full textAbstract:
In this special issue on ludic economies, we argue that the study of digital games—their milieux of production, cultures and contexts of play, user-generated production, and spectatorship should be applied as a primary heuristic in understanding the cultural economy of neoliberal late capitalism—as well as vice versa. The articles here focus on a range of issues related to both mainstream profit models including digital distribution platforms and mobile games as well as peripheral game economies such as jams and indie production. Each of the studies share an attunement to the tensions and contradictions embedded within what are commonly approached as matter-of-fact within traditional economic analysis of games. Rather than framing industrial changes as necessarily either overdetermined exploitation (of workers in the mainstream games industry, players and their ‘free’ labour) or emancipatory and progressive (new forms of creative production, play, resistance), they address the specificity and peculiarity of game economies at both the micro- and macro-levels of industry, technology, and everyday play culture. And rather than simply countering a pessimistic picture with other, more progressive examples of contemporary game culture such as ‘games for change’, art practices and political interventions—as important as these are—the contributions to this special issue instead track the contradictions and tensions within game cultures and economies as reflections of those within the late capitalist and patriarchal cultural economy at large.

Full textAbstract:
Early research on mobile phone adoption among fishers followed an economistic perspective, focusing mainly on access to market price information. Researchers called for investigations into collective and cooperative uses of the technology. Responding to these calls, we explored Burmese fishers’ use of mobile phones in the realms of social life and business, mainly related to information seeking and sharing among the community. Interviews with 23 fishers in three regions in Myanmar suggested that both social and commercial, as well as individual- and community-oriented, uses were prevalent. Mobile phones helped channel information on price and market demand among a limited number of fishers, especially the boat owners and fish dealers. The other segments in the fishing labor hierarchy desisted from individual ownership of the phone, while opting for a more community-based appropriation. A nuanced picture of use and non-use of mobiles emerged alongside fishers’ socio-economic status and patterns of fishing.

Introduction: Mobile banking is a widespread practice in many areas throughout Indonesia. There are many reasons for this, both internal and external. This study aims to find out and analyze the definition, history, and practice of mobile banking, then review it from the perspective of Islamic Economics. Method: This study uses a qualitative method by reviewing related literature on mobile banking and its practices in various regions in Indonesia. Result: In the Islamic economy, financial inclusion is very important because the financial system is geared to promote people's welfare. The practice of debts through mobile banks can be carried out with several principles that must be obeyed, including murabahah, mudharabah, and musyarakah. During obligations through portable banks, mobile banks must ensure that all transactions follow sharia principles. Conclusion: The Islamic solution to preventing the practice of mobile banking is to carry out financial planning through a priority scale of needs, educate the public about the Islamic economy through Islamic financial institutions, and maximize the role of zakat for mustahik.

Around the globe, various initiatives use the mobile phone to provide financial services to those without access to traditional banks. The current trend is that banks and telecommunication companies together are bringing the unbanked people under the financial umbrella through mobile banking. The aim of the current study is to find out the impact of mobile banking on various economic indicators of Pakistan. For this purpose, the current research was conducted in two phases; in the first phase, primary data were collected through a well-structured interview schedule from the users of mobile banking. In the second phase, primary data were collected through structured interviews from the mobile industry financial experts. This study found that mobile banking brings economic benefits for individuals, companies and countries. These economic benefits lead to bigger economic effects such as an increase in GDP growth, more foreign direct investment, remittances, increase in government’s tax base, creates new businesses, employment generation and transparency in transactions. It is concluded that access to finances through mobile banking leads to the country’s GDP and the entrepreneurial activities.

Full textAbstract:
The scale of diffusion of mobile wireless broadband technology and its transformational effect across all sectors of the economy cannot be over emphasised. It enables the creation of new business processes/product innovation, thereby boosting job creation, as well as raising economic growth and productivity. This suggests that the mobile broadband is a general-purpose technology capable of producing a protracted critical mass effect at a certain threshold of penetration. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the impact of mobile broadband on economic growth in Nigeria. Using the Endogenous Growth Model, we employ ARDL Bounds Testing Approach and Toda Yamamoto Granger Causality test on quarterly data from 2001 to 2016, to estimate the growth effect of mobile broadband. The findings show that mobile broadband is impacting economic growth positively in the Nigerian economy. It is therefore imperative for policymakers to design policies that will increase access to broadband infrastructure to both the unserved and underserved. It is also imperative to enact policies and regulations that can stimulate the economic impact of mobile broadband technology by strengthening the capacity of the economy to fully absorb the transformational benefits and make productive use of it as a General-Purpose Technology.

Full textAbstract:
Today telecommunications industry is a key indicator of productivity across economies and societies. In recent times, developing nations have witnessed significant transformation within this sector due to the impact it has had on their economies. Higher the degree of competiveness among the brands available to the consumers, higher would be the intensity of brand switching. This research has been conducted in order to examine the factors influencing brand switching in mobile telecommunication industry in Bangladesh. Qualitative and quantitative methods have been developed a strong base of research. Primary data for research has been collected through an interview schedule from 80 mobile subscribers in Bangladesh. Data were coded and analyzed by using SPSS and Excel. The results of research suggest that service charge is the most influential factor on brand switching in telecommunication sector. Other factors that have been found influential factor on brand switching were poor customer care service of previous operator, occupation and economic circumstances, switching cost, better service availability, wide and strong network. So the mobile operator and other related agencies should provide better service to the customers for reducing brand switching of mobile telecommunication industry in Bangladesh.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to shed some light on the role of video games within the media industry and IT sector, on its contribution to the production and distribution of digital content in emerging economies. It offers a case study on the role of mobile devices as a factor of transformation and shows how under changing socio–economic conditions, the transformations enabled the creation of digital ecosystems and innovative business models. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on desk research, a review of literature and trade press and comments from experts and industry players. Findings The paper argues that as the internet is going mobile, driven by data – mostly video – the new mobile platforms are becoming the key for the distribution of content and mobile games. Whether it is the history of browser games in China, mobile games in India or PC games in Russia, each national gaming industry has required a unique strategy for making money, building on some prominent cultural factors and adapting to the local economic conditions. The paper reveals that video games are now clearly a vital part of digital content production in these countries, while stressing upon the role of public policies. Research limitations/implications The paper relies mostly on industry and consultancy data, as in such a fast-changing environment official data even when accessible are in most cases too old to remain relevant to identify the trends and the fast changing stakes. This calls for some caution about the data. Therefore, the data used should be treated as just signals of potential trends, sufficient to provide an appropriate overview of the evolution of the global mobile ecosystem. Practical implications This paper shows that the video games industry can serve as a pivot for the ICT industry. Besides, this prompts upstream and downstream industries of the entire digital entertainment market to thrive. Social implications The paper shows that companies from emerging markets companies have been betting on a combination of factors: the development of the economies, the growth of the mobile market, emerging middle-classes and young customers. It provides a growth model that appears to be close to a “regular” industrial growth model. Originality/value Although there is a growing academic literature on the video games industry, few research have been devoted to specific issues of emerging economies and to the role of video games within the media industry and IT sector.

In the regions, most intensely engaged in this form of employment, mobile oil work has largely replaced the dominant industries of the previous century. This geographic shift in Canadian investment and production has created uneven labour markets, with high demand for labour in the Northern Alberta and high unemployment in de-industrialized communities in Atlantic Canada. (2) Methods: There is little quantitative evidence on the flows of mobile workers from the East to the West and the impact of this movement on the Atlantic Canadian economy. Data for this paper were obtained through a special arrangement with Statistics Canada in the fall of 2015 and winter of 2016, from the Canadian Employer–Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD). (3) Results: Analysis of CEEDD revealed that the oil and gas industry of Northern Alberta has a significant impact on the economies of Atlantic Canada with an increasing dependence for interprovincial workers. (4) Conclusions: To the extent that mobile work has served as a replacement for traditional industries, mobile work is re-structuring the social and economic makeup of Atlantic Canadian communities. The more reliant Atlantic Canadian communities become on oil-related mobile work, the more precarious their economies will become as global markets for oil and gas change and targeted actions on climate change increase.

As mobile wireless unfolds, the business-world looks for an assessment of the technical and competitive landscape, for a high return on investment opportunities, for sweet spots in the value chain, and for value propositions of the industry. In short, mobile wireless stakeholders must understand the economics of delivering mobile wireless value. This paper summarizes the mobile wireless economics to help the stakeholders discharge their responsibilities. Because customers' perception of mobile wireless value decides the success of the industry's offering, this paper describes the value propositions that the mobile wireless chain is evolving to offer. Then, it traces chronological roots of the chain to describe how fundamental drivers and key economic characteristics of the evolutionary phases have led the growth of the evolving industry. Mobile network operators' regulatory environment and spectrum acquisition strategies, and technology investment and subscriber penetration life cycles have been discovered in the industry These life cycles along with network economics of mobile wireless help explain the current dynamics in the industry, and will lead to the emergence of mobile wireless industry.

Il saggio analizza le origini della specializzazione manifatturiera di Lissone a partire dagli ultimi decenni dell'Ottocento, soffermandosi in particolare sul rapporto tra artigiani a domicilio e grandi commercianti di mobili. Il periodo tra le due guerre mondiali vide una significativa modernizzazione del settore, soprattutto grazie alla mobilitazione di alcune istituzioni locali. Le iniziative promosse dalle autoritŕ comunali e dalle associazioni ebbero una forte rilevanza anche dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, in particolare con la creazione dell'Ente comunale del mobile (1951). Gli sforzi per un aggiornamento dell'artigianato locale naufragarono a causa del perdurare di alcune pratiche individualiste tradizionali e di un peggioramento della congiuntura nel corso dei decenni sessanta-settanta, mentre progressivamente veniva meno l'identificazione del tessuto produttivo locale con la specializzazione mobiliera.

Full textAbstract:
The study analysed the impact of poverty reduction, economic growth, on proliferation of mobile money in Ghana. Using data from the world development indicators and factor analysis, an index measuring mobile money, economic growth, and poverty reduction in Ghana was developed. The data ranged from 1980 to 2021, and a convenience sampling method was used to select the series from world development indicators (WDI) and indexes created to measure the primary variables. The Johansen cointegration method revealed that cointegration exists between the variables, indicating that the variables have long-term relationships. The results of Vector error correction indicated that there is both a long-term and a short-term relationship between the proliferation of mobile money, economic growth, and poverty reduction in Ghana. The findings indicated the existence of a short-term relationship between the variables. Granger causality test also confirmed that mobile money proliferation, economic growth, and poverty reduction in Ghana have a short-run causal relationship. Given the significant role that mobile money service plays in Ghana's economic growth, the study concluded that policymakers in Ghana would do well to pay attention to mobile money service. In order to reduce mobile money and cyber fraud, policymakers are also encouraged to make mobile money and banking services accessible, including financial literacy education, and to strengthen internal controls. Future research could examine the relationship between the proliferation of mobile money, credit assessment, employment, and investment in Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Representatives of economic specialties must have the skills to use modern information technology in their professional activities. One of these technologies is mobile, based on the use of mobile devices, services and mobile communications. The purpose of the study is to analyze the opportunities and prospects of mobile learning in the process of professional training of students of economic specialties. In order to study the prospects of introducing mobile technologies into the process of professional training for students of economic specialties in mobile app stores, analysis of applications for the platforms of Google Android and Apple iOS was conducted. Mobile applications have been identified which can be used in the process of training students of economic specialties in terms of content and functionality. They were assigned to the following groups: e-books, directories and dictionaries, news editions, manuals and manuals for economists, simulators of economic processes, appendices for learning a foreign language, question sets and simulators for passing the tests on economics, simulators for work with accounting programs, economic courses, economic calendars, economic calculators, financial monitoring applications, business plans and business ideas, notebooks and planners. As a result of a survey of teachers and students, it was concluded that all interviewed have mobile phones and use mobile Internet. In the educational process, mobile applications use 70% of teachers and 97% of students, including special programs of economics using 50% of teachers and 93% of students. Of the applications of economic orientation, most teachers use manuals for economists (70%) and directories and dictionaries (70%), most students - directories (77%) and training simulators for work with accounting programs (73%). Both lecturers and students indicated that they would like to use mobile applications of economic subjects in professional training. The results of the theoretical analysis and the survey give grounds to assert about the sufficient possibilities of available mobile technologies and the positive attitude towards their use in the professional training of students of economic specialties.

Full textAbstract:
The proliferation of mobile phones in developing countries has significant implications for those countries. Although numerous studies have examined the various advantages of mobile phone use, the relationship between mobile phone access and the economic welfare of households has received comparatively little attention. This paper examines the effects of mobile phone on household expenditures in 2007 and 2014 utilising the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) combined with Potential Village Survey (PODES). Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Endogenous Treatment Regression (ETR), quantile regression, and two-way fixed effect estimations are used to identify the homogeneous and heterogeneous effects of mobile phone use. According to the estimated results, mobile phone access and signal quality significantly increases household expenditure. According to the results of quantile regression, mobile phone access has the greatest effect on the upper expenditure distributions. It is highlighting the importance of promoting a policy that increases mobile phone and the supporting infrastructure on the lower expenditure distributions.

Au début des années 2000, les migrations résidentielles entraînent une redistribution spatiale de la population et une opposition entre les zones qui attirent la population mobile à l’ouest et au sud de la France, et les zones en déclin dans le nord-est du pays. L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier les déterminants de ces dynamiques territoriales. Nous adaptons le modèle de Carlino et Mills [1987] à l’étude de la relation entre les flux migratoires et la croissance locale de l’emploi. Nous montrons que même si la mobilité résidentielle et l’emploi s’influencent mutuellement, les dynamiques économiques dépendent plus des choix de localisation des populations mobiles que l’inverse. Aussi, la dynamique locale de l’emploi suit une logique d’agglomération, alors que les ménages mobiles tendent à s’éloigner des grandes villes. Classification JEL : C31, J62, R11, R23.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose In the complex ecosystem of mobile applications multiple factors have been used to explain users’ behavior, without though focusing on how different combinations of variables may affect user behavior. The purpose of this paper is to show how price value, game content quality, positive and negative emotions, gender and gameplay time interact with each other to predict high intention to download mobile games. Design/methodology/approach Building on complexity theory, the authors present a conceptual model followed by research propositions. The propositions are empirically validated through configurational analysis, employing fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on 531 active users of mobile games. Findings Findings identify ten solutions that explain high intention to download mobile games. Alternative paths are identified depending on the gender and the time users spend playing mobiles games. The authors highlight the role of price value and game content quality, as well as that of positive emotions, which are always core factors when present. Originality/value To identify complex interactions among the variables of interest, fsQCA is employed, differentiating from traditional studies using variance-based methods, leading to multiple solutions explaining the same outcome. None of the variables explains the intention to download on its own, but only when they combine with each other. The authors extend existing knowledge on how price value, game content quality, emotions, gender and gameplay time combine to lead to high intention to download mobile games; and present a methodology for how to bridge complexity theory with fsQCA, improving our understanding of intention to adopt mobile applications.

The paper sheds light on informal economies, focusing on transnational entrepreneurs between Central Asia and Russia. Both male and female entrepreneurs from Central Asia live mobile economic lives, traveling between Central Asia and Russia and forming a kind of class. With Islam playing a prominent role in the regulation of informal economies, Islamic belonging has become a stronger marker of identity than ethnicity among Central Asian migrants in Russia, and mosque communities have grown in influence. Mosques have become places to meet and socialize, where contacts are established and maintained.

No doubt, that mobile phone services are an important contributor to the cash-strapped nation's economy. When this industry is booming out, the safety and security issue related to the use of mobile phone has come up with a great concern. The development of mobile technology has positioned privacy and security into risk to its users.) This risk hampers the daily economic activities thus the economic growth and development. This study concerns about how personal, social and economic safety and security, health and privacy issues can be hampered by the misuse of mobile phone (threat, harassment). This study also concerns whether crime committing has become more organized with the help of mobile technology. And whether there should be a clear law to protect general people from harassment through mobile phone. Lastly this study comes up with the decision that whether the misuse of mobile phone (threat, harassment), hampers economic activities which have an adverse affect on economic development. The target population for his study is the micro entrepreneurs in Dhaka who inseparably depend on mobile phone for their business communication as well as the users of mobile phone are the target population of this study. The sample size is one hundred and four (104) micro entrepreneurs and users in Dhaka. The sample size is one hundred and four micro entrepreneurs and users in Dhaka. The structured questionnaire based on Likert scale has been used to ask the respondents to indicate their agreement or disagreement on a five point scale ranging from strongly agrees. The study comes up with the findings that misuse of mobile phone (threat, harassment), hampers economic activity thus have an adverse affect on economic development.
