How to Leverage Technology to Sustain Creative Initiatives and Promote Social...
The digital revolution is in full bloom and technology is being used to solve the world’s most challenging problems, yet traditional banking excludes many of the world’s poorest from taking advantage of the full fruits of the fi-nancial system. Especially in developing countries, implementing mobile fi-nancial systems can speed financial inclusion and spur economic growth. There is space for regulatory reform that addresses concerns with data security and consumer privacy yet does not stifle innovation. Throughout history, resistance to innovation has generally proved futile, and countries that refuse to change risk missing opportunities.

New business model, africa telecoms forum
Operators in Africa will need to shift their business models as data revenues surpass voice revenues by 2018, driven by increasing demand for services like video and messaging apps. Traditional models relying on voice and SMS will not be sustainable long-term. Operators will need to focus on infrastructure and providing data delivery, while new services will be led by international and local companies. The deployment of LTE will accelerate this transition by enabling more data-intensive uses of mobile internet. Operators have a choice to resist these changes or to proactively develop new strategies for the future of their businesses in this shifting landscape.
Bandwidth for all, Peruvian case
The document discusses the need for an alternative IP backbone network in Peru to promote fair competition in the telecommunications market. Currently, there is only one backbone network along the coast and into the highlands, owned by Telefonica del Peru (TdP) who dominates the fixed line, mobile, cable TV and internet markets. Safeguards would need to be in place if TdP was allowed to participate in a new network to prevent high retail prices. The role of institutions and regulators is also important to implement the correct market design and subsidy amounts to avoid uneven development and ensure effective monitoring of compliance. The regulatory model could also be changed to separate network and retail operations.
Mobiles reinforce unequal gender relations in Zambia
This document summarizes a photograph showing a man making a call at a phone booth in Funyula, Kenya that has been modified to function as a GSM wireless phone. The area recently gained mobile phone coverage, so telecommunications companies are competing for customers. The phone booth is operated by Douglas Oduori and allows people to make calls using a handset modified to connect to the mobile network. This provides telecom access to an area that did not previously have coverage.
Telecommunication expansion strategy for Africa
The major telecommunications companies have adopted similar strategies to expand in Africa, including acquiring existing companies, forming joint ventures, and obtaining licenses to operate in new markets. They target countries with low telecom penetration and aim to provide basic, low-cost services. However, differences remain in their brand positioning, level of innovation, and focus between more developed versus less developed African nations. Managing the cultural and economic differences across Africa poses challenges to their pan-African strategies.

Technology management, Case: Serving the Poor
This document discusses business model innovations that have helped connect lower-income consumers to mobile networks. It notes that while over 75% of the world's population is covered by mobile networks, most companies focus on higher-income segments. Two key barriers to universal access have been affordability and availability of infrastructure. Some companies have adopted shared-use models to provide access, but individual ownership models using installment plans and micro-financing have also proven effective. Competition in densely populated markets like India has driven operators to innovate through ultra-low pricing, electronic recharges, and technologies to reduce infrastructure costs and expand coverage.
Mobile broadband and value added services
This document discusses mobile broadband and value added services in Nigeria. It provides background on Etisalat Nigeria, a major telecommunications company in the country.

Mobile star killed laptop star
Mobile phones have become ubiquitous in many parts of the world and can act as a catalyst for social and economic development, especially for marginalized groups. Over 3.3 billion people now own mobile phones globally, compared to only 1 billion who have access to the internet. Mobile phones are affordable, scalable technologies that small-scale farmers and fishermen are using to access market prices, place orders, and receive weather and agricultural extension services.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/building-and-scaling-ai-applications-with-the-nx-ai-manager-a-presentation-from-network-optix/
Robin van Emden, Senior Director of Data Science at Network Optix, presents the “Building and Scaling AI Applications with the Nx AI Manager,” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
