2. The history of ICT is marked by major
disruptions by game changers, radically
altering the way we communicate, work,
play and live.

3. Back in 1971, ICT was all about telecoms.
Voiced over fixed infrastructure run by
national operators out of government
department( such as the USA, FRANCE,
UK).

4.  Then came the paradigm shift of market
liberalization in the early 80’s and the
arrival of mobile telephony.
 Exploding from brick shaped executive
symbol to the ubiquitous tool of daily life
today, where there are almost as many
mobile subscriptions globally as there
people on the planet.

5. This was driven by the Short Message
Service(SMS or text), which proved
immensely and unexpectedly popular in
combination with technological
advances, flat rate packages, and internet
savvy populations.

6. Next came Data (mobile internet), a mass
of mobile apps and the ability to send
not just texts but images and videos from
anyone to anywhere.
