Abstract: |
With the advances in Information
Communication Technology (ICT) and the demand for more efficient and
effective government, governments in various countries have implemented
e-government strategies to offer more information and online services to
citizens, government agencies, businesses, and others. E- government
initiatives aim to benefit from the use of most innovative forms of
information technologies, mainly web-based Internet applications, in
improving governments' fundamental functions. It is considered the preferred
tool to enhance government services among its customers and government
agencies. However, an explosion in the use of wireless internet devices,
including internet-ready mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in combination with the increasing mobility of
people in industrial economies is forcing governments to prepare themselves
to transition from e-government to m- government. This paper examines the
development of m-government in Greece, which is in an early stage in
comparison with other countries all over the world. More specifically,
m-government services that are currently used are mentioned. In addition,
recommendations are given for the further development of m-government in
Greece as well as the benefits to citizens from using various m-government
services are elaborated taking into account the initiatives of other
countries on the application of m-government. |
