Finland, home of Nokia, which makes 30 percent of the mobile phones sold around
the world, and veritable mobile phone capital of the world, a mobile phone is
not just a phone. It is a credit card, a menu, a stock ticker, and an
entertainment center. It is a multifunction server. It is a passport to the
future. In the high-tech world of telephones, Finland clearly leads the world.
By pressing their phone’s buttons and reading text messages on small screens,
the Finns can tinnier money in their bank accounts, trade stocks, purchase
products used daily, rent videos, buy movie tickets, order flowers, and pay for
parking—all without ever talking to anyone, that is to say, without using a
phone for its traditional purpose.
In a
shopping center, you stand before a vending machine, and dial a number on your
mobile phone. Seconds later, the food will fall on a shelf in the machine. It
is a very easy way to get something to eat, the cost of which will show up on
your mobile phone bill at the end of the month. In some restaurants, you dial a
number after the waitress hands you your bill and get a receipt from the
cashier. Mobile phones have become so important a part of life here that many
people can not leave home without their phones. Nearly 80 percent of Finland’s
five million people own mobile phones.
There are
many more mobile phones than fixed ones in the country. That Finns describe
themselves as perfect mobile phone users is not because they like to talk much
but on the contrary. Finns are not very eager to talk. They are shy, but they
are very eager to enjoy high-tech. Among teenagers, mobile phone ownership hits
100 percent. Many log on Web sites to download personalized music or pictures
for their phones. Surveys show that Finns send an average of 25 messages a
month on their mobile phones. Teachers have to ban the phones during exams to
prevent cheating.
Mobile
phones and related hand-held devices will make it technically possible to
eliminate cash within ten years. Making that socially acceptable, however, may
take longer. About 75 percent of all transactions in Finland are already
performed with credit and debit cards. Except for mortgage(抵押) payments, which still require paperwork,
mobile phones can perform any traditional banking function. Checks have not
been used for at least five years. These provide a good start for mobile
commerce. More and more people accept the mobile payment devices because of its
fast and convenient service. Banks are beginning to join with enterprises to
test a system that integrates(使一体化)
the mobile payment devices with a cash register. Mobile commerce, as the theory
goes, is entering people’s life step by step.
