Insights into Mobile Telecoms in AfricaJon Hoehler
This document provides insights into the mobile telecoms landscape in Africa based on publicly available data and analysis from various sources. It notes that Africa has become the world's second largest mobile market by connections and the fastest growing, with over 649 million connections in Q4 2011. However, mobile penetration across Africa remains relatively low, with many countries still below 50% penetration. The top 25 African mobile countries by connections represent over 91% of the total African market. Prepaid connections account for around 96% of the African mobile market. ARPU is declining across Africa due to competition and economic factors. Voice services currently dominate African mobile revenues, though mobile internet and data usage are growing rapidly.
This document discusses the impact of mobile phones in Africa based on research conducted by Vodafone. It finds that mobile phone usage patterns in Africa differ significantly from developed countries. People in Africa share phones communally and illiteracy affects use of texting. The informal sharing of phones extends mobile access beyond subscription rates. Mobile phones have had a dramatic economic and social impact in Africa by enabling communication and participation where infrastructure was previously lacking. The rapid adoption of mobile phones has leapfrogged fixed line networks, demonstrating mobile's greater relevance for development.

Talk In Manila: Asia's Tech Startup Ecosystem - The Good And The BadDr. Serkan Toto
Asia has the largest web population in the world with huge future potential for growth. However, Asia's tech ecosystem also faces several challenges including a lack of quality startups and venture capital funding, a weak exit environment for companies, a shortage of technical talent, and underdeveloped payment and mobile infrastructure in many countries. While Asia is innovative in areas such as mobile technology, online gaming, and e-readers, the region needs to further develop its startup support systems and business environment to fully realize its potential.
Mobile devices are increasingly how people access the internet and consume content. They are becoming a major part of culture by bridging the social and personal as well as online and offline worlds. While brands often use mobile as another place to interrupt users and waste their time, mobile represents an opportunity to engage with diverse audiences like women and those with lower incomes in helpful, inclusive, and useful ways. Designing for mobile's variety of devices and contexts requires flexibility and responsiveness to how people connect and share in different situations.
Mobile Ministry-Scripture Engagement PresentationMobile_Advance
The document discusses the rise of mobile phone usage and its benefits for media and ministry outreach. Some key points:
- Mobile phones are ubiquitous personal devices that are always carried and connected. They allow new forms of media consumption, payment, and creative inspiration.
- Their measurement of audience and social context provide unique opportunities for outreach through texting, apps, videos, images and more.
- Their portability and ability to spread content virally from phone to phone make them well-suited for sharing gospel messages in reproducible, locally-appropriate ways. A number of mobile ministry resources and best practices are mentioned.
Mobile technology is transforming Africa by addressing longstanding issues like poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to information and financial services. Mobile phones have seen unprecedented growth in Africa, with over 600 million subscribers compared to just 4 million in 1998. This has led to innovative mobile applications that provide farmers with agricultural information, enable peer-to-peer payments and money transfers through mobile banking, and allow civic engagement through open data and crowdsourcing. Mobile technology is empowering citizens, boosting economic growth, and helping lift people out of poverty in Africa.
Africa has experienced rapid growth in its mobile and internet sectors over the past decade, outpacing global growth rates. This market-driven development has been enabled by huge infrastructure investments from private companies and innovations tailored to African users' needs, such as M-Pesa. However, Africa still lags behind global averages for technology penetration, representing significant opportunities for further growth, although political and economic instability in some countries continues to pose risks to investors.
Information and communication technologies have led to some negative impacts in various sectors. ICT has increased the crime rate through cyber crimes, hacking, and ATM fraud. It has also made people lazier as they have access to many conveniences. ICT has heightened the rate of pornography viewing and made plagiarism easier as content can be easily copied online. While ICT provides benefits, it is important to utilize it responsibly to avoid these downsides.

Mobile Internet - Africa's Digital BackboneAdeyemi Fowe
A presentation at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to the students in Faculty of Engineering on the state of the art of Mobile technology in Africa.., the hopes and what the future holds.
The diversity of South Africa is on one hand a treasure that should be preserved and people still do recognize its importance and carry forward their cultural values. On the other hand, the very same diversity is a challenge for policy makers, marketers, advertisers, government and other institutions that want to reach out to greater masses and those who look for scalability.
However, the “mobile first” generation is the answer. The mobile revolution has introduced the people in South Africa to the power of social media, enabled them to open and operate bank accounts, helped them level their healthcare needs and now it is being used in many more avenues with greater possibilities.
This report aggregates the current trends to showcase the possibilities. Further on, it challenges the designers and innovators by planting the Brainstorming Seeds that will grow on to become possibilities of tomorrow—to build a more prosperous and vibrant Rainbow Nation!

Entrepreneuriat, Tic et Innovation, des outils au service du Developpement en...jean-patrick EHOUMAN
Les micro, petite et moyenne entreprises constituent 90% du secteur privé en Afrique et apparaissent comme des
moteurs indéniables de la croissance sur le continent.
A l’heure où l’on parle de valeur ajoutée, d’innovation, d’impact développemental des activités économiques mais
aussi d’atteinte des objectifs du millénaire, force est de constater que l’entrepreneuriat apparait comme un catalyseur
des perspectives d’évolution du continent.
Malgré les difficultés inhérentes au faible niveau d’infrastructure, l’Afrique est loin d’être tenue à l’écart du réseau
mondial. Depuis une dizaine d’années, on évoque de plus en plus la possibilité d’accélérer le développement de
l’Afrique en réduisant la fracture numérique entre le Nord et le Sud, mais surtout, en accélérant le recours aux
technologies de l’information et de la communication. C’est ainsi que se développent de nombreuses initiatives
destinées à exploiter ces technologies dans des domaines prioritaires tels que l’éducation, la santé, l’agriculture ou le
commerce.
Processus de pensée visant à exécuter une action nouvelle, l’innovation s’illustre comme le maillon fort de la
dynamique « entrepreneuriat-TIC », en Afrique notamment. Fabrication de biens nouveaux, nouvelles méthodes de
production, ouverture de nouveaux débouchés, utilisation de nouvelles matières premières, nouvelle organisation du
travail : l’innovation recouvre plusieurs dynamiques.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
