Abstract: Mobile government is one of the new and important developments in e-government. The promise of m-government to provide greater access to government information is progressing in many developed and developing countries. Research shows there is a lack of a perfect killer application or framework to find a killer application. Without this framework, developing countries will lose an opportunity to accelerate development where the potential inherently lies in the technologies. In this context, this paper aims to present a framework to find killer applications in m-government which can be followed by any country. Further, the framework is explained with the case-study of the Indian subcontinent, which can be viewed as a reference.

Keywords: m-government; mobile government; context-based integrated framework; killer applications; CSF; critical success factors; India; developing countries; e-government; electronic government.
