With the popularization of smartphones, location-based services are increasingly part of everyday live. People use their cell phones to find nearby restaurants, friends in the vicinity, and track their children. Although location-based services have received sparse attention from mobile communication scholars to date, the ability of locating people and things with one's cell phone is not new. Since the removal of GPS signal degradation in 2000, artists and researchers have been exploring how location-awareness influences mobility, spatiality and sociability. Besides exploring the historical antecedents of today's location-based services, this paper focuses on the main social issues that emerge when location-aware technologies leave the strict domain of art and research and become part of everyday life: locational privacy, sociability, and spatiality. Finally, this paper addresses two main topics that future mobile communication research that focus on location-awareness should take into consideration: a shift in the meaning of location, and the adoption and appropriation of location-aware technologies in the global south.

During the Confederations Cup in 2013, TV stations used alternative paths to stimulate the usage of interactive resources during their broadcasts. Different from the manner defined by Brazilian Digital Terrestrial TV system, they increase the value of networks already used by the audience, and even highlight the features of each medium - TV and mobile devices - creating an experience that one completes the other and highlights the role of TV. This paper discusses how Bandeirantes created an experience like this with the app Segunda Tela da Band (Band's Second Screen). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper brings reflections and notes on the esthetic experiences in communication studies. Are thoughtful and related possibilities and movements in process from the appropriations of mobile platforms, especially smartphone, observed in a particular way, in their uses and appropriations for young users. Based in authors like Kerckhove (2009), Manovich (2001), Winocur (2009), among others, to reflect the communicative experience in the sociocultural context of mobility and interaction.

The emergence of new mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are changing how we interact with news. Accessing information from these devices has all the advantages offered by newspapers on the web, also allowing more personalized consumption. Apart from the obvious advantages of using this type of individual handsets, now they sum up the possibility of enjoying technical features such as GPS receiver, accelerometer or video cameras embedded in those devices. These technologies could enrich the news contents and a good example of this potential is the Augmented Reality (AR): the possibility of placing layers of virtual information on real images captured at the moment is an opportunity to enrich the news with a contextualization that can be continuously updated. This paper seeks to explain the role of AR on mobile journalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the formation of new relationships between wireless networks, mobile devices, geolocation and urban space in order to characterize and verify distinct sound and musical located reappropriations. From this relational framework, the study of communication and cyberculture focuses on the interactions within urban areas, used both for aesthetic purposes, and for producing and sharing information. The proposal is therefore an analytical typology grounded in theoretical references that point to three models of sonically appropriation of places, through locative media: Psychogeography of sounds, Locative sound mappings and Music shares in mobility.

On this paper, we shall analyze the regulatory alternatives for tariff structure on mobile telecommunications. Initially we will endeavor toreview thes legal norms for the subject, followed by a theoretical review and finally we simulated the Ramsery prices and perfect collusion on Brazilian Telecommunications. We can see the prices corrently recorded are below the ones consistent with the collusion and above the Ramsery prices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
