But while trying to discuss the transfer method of the goods and services, from the company to the customer, attention is focused on the payment mode of such customer.
In other word, how possible is it to pay for goods and services via the internet? This thus further leads to the discussion of the economic consequences of digital cash. What are the implementations from the view point of economic? In recent years, several proposals for electronic cash have appeared in cyber space, and some of them have begun their services already. But the economic consequences of these endeavours have not yet been examined.
Since the world is fast becoming a global village and a necessary tool for this process is communication of which telecommunication is a key player. The quantum development in the telecommunications industry all over the world is very rapid as one innovation replaces another in a matter of weeks. A major breakthrough is the wireless telephone system which comes in either fixed wireless telephone lines or the Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM). Communication without doubt is a major driver of any economy. Emerging trends in socio-economic growth shows a high premium being placed on information and communication technology (ICT) by homes, organizations, and nations.
