Some thinking on the never ending discussion on “push” and “pull” technology, with particular implication for mobile phones.

Back from my trip in Tanzania I have to show an interesting collection of images about marketing of mobile telephony around the country. As you can see they are pretty aggressive!
From cars to charts
From walls to houses
From billboards to shops

The problem is real: will mobile phones replace other ICTs wherever they are not yet developed? In my opinion, they are a killer [...]
As the online Forum on “Mobile Telephony in rural areas” is getting closer, the list of projects using mobile is getting longer and longer. I have to thanks the participants to the KM4Dev list who have been proposing examples of application they were aware of. Let’s see what’s new around the table:

It is called O3b and stands for other3billion: that’s to say the 3 billion people who are not connected yet to the Internet.
