Editor's Notes
- Mobile Communication literally transformed society as its outreach increased. Early 1985, when the first-generation mobile phones were introduced, the average handset price was about 1000 USD and with a cost of 45 cents/minute, only 200 thousand people could afford them at the very beginning. Then, economies of scale and other factors at play brought the costs down and in 2006 there were more than 2 billion mobile users in the word, for an average price of handset of 200 USD and around 8 cents/minute cost of calling. This marked the beginning of a new era – the” mobile entertainment anywhere” – with mobile communication enriched with data access, beyond usual voice calling. However, we are still far from an universal access to mobile communication and information. It’s only in 2010 that we started envisioning with confidence the “mobile for everyone” scenario, as the handset phone cost drops to as low as 40 USD for unsophisticated models and, most importantly, the cost for the mobile communication in many countries is not higher than 5 cents/minute (with outstanding exceptions in India where it is already lower than 2 cents/minute). Forecasts for end 2010 announce about 4.5 billion mobile users in the world.
- Of the four billion mobile subscribers worldwide at the start of this year, more than two-thirds were in the developing countries. Mobile networks have a modular nature, which makes it relatively easy to start a new service and to expand as demand grows. This is particularly appropriate in the developing world. Indeed, the growth in the mobile sector in the developing world now exceeds that of the OECD area to the extent that it is developing countries that now lead. The United Arab Emirates was the first economy worldwide where mobile penetration exceeded 200 per cent. Even at a lower level, developing economies like Jamaica, Gabon, or Jordan, now have more mobile subscribers per 100 inhabitants than, for instance, North America or Japan. This is a reversal of the traditional digital divide and provides a compelling example of “digital leapfrogging”. It also illustrates the success of policies based on open markets. Developing country mobile operators are also responsible for many for the innovations that are shaping the industry worldwide. For instance, SMS first became popular in the Philippines; pre-paid billing was first tried in Kenya and now companies such as Zain, an IFC investee, is eliminating roaming charges in the markets in which it operates in East Africa.
- Today's unprecedented economic challenges call for innovative ways in addressing complex development issues. Breakthrough ICT applications can leverage the transformative power of nations and increase the efficiency and transparency of governments across the developing world. ICTs and Mobile Applications have been an engine for economic growth in both developed & developing countries. It comes at no surprise that the market for ICT services continues to expand despite the crisis. In the last year alone, donors spent 5 billion US dollars in this area; Brazil, China and India spent over 100 billion dollars in developing the ICT sector.
