MOBILE WEB FOR DEVELOPMENT

摘要

The availability of mobile phones and the wide coverage of GSM networks in Developing Countries are a huge opportunity to provide services, based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), that would trigger development and improve people lives in rural areas. Numerous success stories have shown the potential of that direction. However, there is still a gap between the development of few services that demonstrate the proof of concept, and the availability of thousands of services all over the Developing World. This paper explores this gap, and the potential solution through the enabling of the Mobile Web.
