I have a forthcoming article on mobile issues called The Phoneur: Mobile
Commerce and the Digital Pedagogies of the Wireless Web.  It examines some
Canadian-specific issues related to W4 enticements, specifically Rogers
Cable my-iD.com service (which hasn't really taken off).  A truncated
version (from which I quote in the longer one) appeared in Shift magazine a
while ago: http://www.shift.com/mag/9.2/html/9.2autopsy.asp.

I would also recommend Myerson, G. (2001). Heidegger, Habermas and the
Mobile Phone. Reading, UK: Icon Books (UK}; Totem Books (US) as a nifty look
at these issues, from which  I also quote, but is inexplicably absent from
the reference list on the online version of the article (and which I will
correct forthwith).

Pasted below is a bibliography from Sean Smith, who posted to another list a
short while ago.  I don't think it is inappropriate to paste here, but I
have left his sig line in in case you want to contact him directly.

best,
Robert
