520 1 The moral economy of mobile phones implies a field of
shifting relations among consumers, companies and state
actors, all of whom have their own ideas about what is
good, fair and just. These ideas inform the ways in which,
for example, consumers acquire and use mobile phones;
companies promote and sell voice, SMS and data
subscriptions; and state actors regulate both everyday use
of mobile phones and market activity around mobile phones.
Ambivalence and disagreement about who owes what to whom
is thus an integral feature of the moral economy of mobile
phones. This volume identifies and evaluates the stakes at
play in the moral economy of mobile phones. The six main
chapters consider ethnographic cases from Papua New Guinea,
Fiji and Vanuatu. The volume also includes a brief
introduction with background information on the recent
'digital revolution' in these countries and two closing
commentaries that reflect on the significance of the
chapters for our understanding of global capitalism and
the contemporary Pacific.
