Check out this article from TelecomTV about the growing market for mobile phones in developing areas.

The article underscores how important mobile phones are in driving economic development in emerging nations by offering an avenue to interact with the formalized economy.   And further that mobile technologies are bypassing the need for PC-based solutions in some areas – a trend we’ve been personal witness to in China.

The striking conclusion I pull from the piece is that mobile phones—whether smart or simple, in the developed or developing world—are the most ubiquitous and profoundly meaningful pieces of technology on the planet.  We’re moving to an age where mobile phones are not a utility but a necessity.
