a. Payment for small amounts in e-commerce (let's say less than RM10) can be a problem as credit and debit cards are restrictive in their approval until certain required level of price to be paid is fulfilled. E-micropayment helps to solve this problem. What are the different micropayment models that are available? (5 Marks)

b. Identify and briefly describe FIVE(5) attributes of m-commerce. (5 Marks)

  13. a)A micropayment is a financial transaction involving a very small sum of money and usually one that occurs online. PayPal defines a micropayment as a transaction of less than 12 USD.while Visa prefers transactions under 20 Australian dollars,and though micropayments were originally envisioned to involve much smaller sums of money, practical systems to allow transactions of less than 1 USD have seen little success.

    One problem that has prevented their emergence is a need to keep costs for individual transactions low,which is impractical when transacting such small sums even if the transaction fee is just a few cents.

    Credit based systems use your credit card as the payment vehicle and remain the domain of the major financial institutions and typical credit card companies – who prefer to be known as “payment” companies now.

    In order to try to solve the problem of many fees for small transactions, these credit based products depend on a concept known as “aggregation” to allow micropayments to be made. Aggregation bundles multiple small transactions into one larger one to reduce the transaction charges and fees

    B)1. WIDESPREAD AVAILABILITY OF MORE POWERFUL MOBILE DEVICES
    ~> at the end of 2007, worldwide mobile telephone subscriptions had reach 3.3 billion. these devices are increasing in power, functionally,and features that support m-commerce

    2.THE SERVICE ECONOMY
    ~> the transition from a manufacturing to a service-based economy is encouraging the development of mobile-based services,especially when customer services is highly competitive industries. individuals will pay for mobile services that perform a range of tasks.

    3. VENDOR'S PUSH
    ~> both mobile communication network operators and manufacturers of mobile devices are advertising the many potential applications of m-commerce so that they can push new technologies, products, and services to buyers.

    4. THE MOBILE WORKFORCE
    ~> some workers, such as salespeople and field service employees, have always worked away from an office.

    5. INCREASE MOBILITY
    ~> the most widely recognized benefit of increase mobility is the productive use of travel time. workers who commute long distances, and especially executives who travel frequently, want to make more productive use of time they spend in public transportation vehicles or in airport lounges.

  22. Question (A): Five differences micropayment models

    1.Aggregation- Any payments from one or any consumer are batched together and then the process will take a bit time only after a certain time already expired.

  26. There are 5 model of micropayment system:
    a) Aggregation model: Aggregation is to gather together a large number of low-value things, and bundle them into a single higher-value transaction. Aggregation also smoothes out the differences in preferences and not only lowers the mental transaction costs associated with micropayments by bundling several purchase decisions together, it creates economic efficiencies unavailable in a world where each resource is priced separately. For example, Apple's iTunes.
    b) Direct payment model: It is adding to a monthly bill for existing services such as a phone bill for example mobile phone and ringtone download.
    c) Stored value model: The payment made for debit account. When you purchase an item, the payment will deducted by debit account before you can get the item. For example, Starbuck's store card.
    d) Subscription model: A subscription is a way of bundling diverse materials together over a set period, in return for a set fee from the user. Subscription also serves as a reputation management system. Because producer and consumer are more known to one another in a subscription arrangement than in one-off purchases. For example, online game and journal access.
    e) Ala carte model: Vendors process purchases as they occur and rely on the volume of purchases to negotiate lower credit or debit processing fees. For example, McDonald's.

    5 attributes of m-commerce:
    a) Interactivity: it is a transactions, communication, and service problem are immediate and highly interactive in the mobile computing environment.
    b) Personalization: when computer at home, library, or internet cafe might be used by a number of people, mobile device are almost owned and operated by a single individual and this enable consumer personalization.
    c) Localization: knowing where is the user physically located by any particular moment is to offering relevant mobile services in real time.
    d) Ubiquity: being available at any location in any time. Smartphone or tablet pc can deliver information when needed.
    e) Convenience: mobile computing devices increase in functionally and usability while remaining the same size.

  29. a) Payment for small online payments usually under rm10 was using micropayments. From the viewpoint of many vendors, credit and debit cards do not work well for such small payments. Five basic micropayment models that do not depend solely or directly on credit or debit cards such as aggregation, direct payment, stored values subscriptions and ala carte. A credit card provides the holder with credit to make purchases up to limit fixed by the card issuer. Card holders are charged high interest on their average daily unpaid balance. Within a debit card, the money for a purchased item comes directly out of the holder’s checking account. The actual transfer of funds from the holder’s account to the merchant’s take place within one or two days.
