Dear all;
I hope you are right. I am implementing my PhD data collection in UK telecommunications division, as
a sample of e-business market. This division provides
telecommunication service related activities to transmit voice, data, text,
sound, and video mainly through wired, wireless and satellite broadcasting.
I am also very interested to test my research framework and its corresponding
research hypotheses in my country, Iran, to compare the result with UK. As you

you to kindly ask you to participate in this research and send it to all your colleagues,
friends and your extended network who are working in IT/e-business sector, preferebly in telecommunications sector. To do so, please find my cover letter which contains the link to my survey as follows:
