Abstract :
The paper state that the mobile market stakeholders have an impact on user awareness, privacy concerns, and trust-related issues. In China, over 30 million new subscribers were added to mobile networks in the first trimester of 2012 alone. Political, religious, and adult-only content is filtered, as is foreign news content. In slow-developing countries, where modern technology is less affordable, the mobile market is strongly controlled. Privacy protection becomes a difficult task for less-skilled handset owners.
