A survey was conducted to collect data to empirically assess the research model. In total, 543 usable responses were collected using a questionnaire derived from previous research. Both the structural equation model and partial least squares were used to study the model concerning different user groups. Findings, The results indicate that there are significant differences in the users' perceptions of mobile internet usage during its different innovation diffusion stages. Of the determinants, perceived enjoyment is the most important predictor of mobile internet use. In addition to motivating users by making services more enjoyable, the findings suggest that practitioners should take the differences of adopter groups into account.

There is an increasing need to use mobile Internet as a research tool as wireless technology has been developing rapidly. However, little research has been conducted to confirm methodological validity of mobile Internet survey. This study examines the possibility of using mobile Internet as a survey tool by comparing survey results of mobile and stationary Internet surveys with the same questionnaire. The results were analyzed from both economic and theoretical perspectives. Both mobile and stationary Internet survey sites were implemented with supports from domestic mobile and stationary Internet portals and telecommunication companies. The results show that there exist several differences between two survey methods. First, many respondents who use mobile Internet gave up at the early stage. However, once people continued to respond, they answered the questions to the end. Second, means and standard deviations of mobile internet respondents were higher than that of stationary Internet. Third, the results of two survey methods were significantly different by comparing construct validity that includes both discriminant validity and convergent validity. Finally, this paper ends with implications and limitations of using mobile Internet as a survey tool.

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) considers perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness as the important determinants of user behavior regarding information technology. As an extension of TAM, this research examines perceived security as an additional determining variable to explain an individual's acceptance and use of mobile banking as well as internet banking. The results show that perceived ease of use does not affect the individual's attitude toward the use of mobile or internet banking, while perceived usefulness does. Furthermore, perceived security affects perceived usefulness in mobile banking, but not in internet banking. In addition, in mobile banking, perceived security is positively related to perceived usefulness, though perceived security is negatively related to attitude. Finally, the average scores of surveyed data for Internet banking are higher and significantly different than those for mobile banking.

인터넷의 광범위한 사용과 더불어 이동성은 컴퓨터 사용자들의 컴퓨팅 환경을 급격하게 변화시키고 있다. 이러한 인터넷 사용환경에서 이동성을 보장하기 위하여 IETF에서는 Mobile IP 프로토콜을 표준화하였다. Mobile IP 사용시 인터넷 사용자는 자신의 홈 네트워크에서 다른 외부 네트워크로 이동하더라도 IP 주소 설정의 변경 없이 자유롭게 인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 Mobile IP를 학내망에 도입하기 위하여 그 성능을 평가하기 위한 테스트베드를 구축한다. Mobile IP 프로토콜의 사용이 네트워크 성능에 미칠수 있는 영향을 실험적으로 평가함으로써 학내 망에 직접 설치하여 검증할 때 발생 가능한 부작용을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
