The development of mobile Internet is remodeling many aspects of the social and economic lifestyle for many people in China at an unprecedented rate. It has become the norm that people pay the bill, rent a bike and make online purchases with mobile phones. People in China are essentially living in a cash-free society. For those living especially in the autonomous region of Tibet, the Internet has enabled new levels of convenience in their daily lives.
