Abstract
The explosive growth of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) has given rise to new paradigms in the manner in which business is conducted and also in the manner in which people conduct their every- day affairs.

Owners of mobile ICT are clearly more likely to spend more time traveling. This relationship is invariant when persons or households are examined. 1 Introduction The 1990s has seen a surge
