Internet E-commerce has been flourishing for the last few years, especially with the advent of World Wide Web. Mobile Electronic Commerce (MEC) has started recently to appear in the scene. It exploits the advantages of Internet, mobile computing and mobile communications in order to provide a large number of advanced services to mobile users. The potentials of MEC are enormous while related technical, business and legal issues become more complicated. The goal of this chapter is to present and discuss problems and identify requirements associated with the trading and billing of tangible and intangible goods in a mobile environment where mobile handheld devices are used for conducting the transactions.
