Mobile Active M Banking
The document discusses mobile money transfer systems in Africa and their impact on financial inclusion. Key points include:
1) Mobile money systems like M-PESA in Kenya have allowed millions of previously unbanked or underbanked individuals to conduct financial transactions and access financial services via their mobile phones.
2) Studies show a positive correlation between increased mobile phone access and socioeconomic development indicators, especially in rural areas where mobile money can improve prices for farmers.
3) Mobile money ecosystems involving mobile network operators, banks, microfinance institutions, and retailers have expanded access to financial services across Africa in a low-cost manner.
Keynote Address

Japan's New Framework for Net Neutrality
The document discusses Japan's net neutrality policies and future challenges. It outlines Japan's initial light-touch regulatory approach but notes this approach is becoming difficult to sustain as competition decreases. Four main challenges are identified: restoring mobile market competition, responding to increasing MNO oligopolization, reconciling competition and price policies, and controlling online platform behavior. The document proposes collecting consumer data and public input to inform policy. It also suggests increasing monitoring of dominant operators and promoting competition in both network and online platform layers.
Tambini ebu
This document summarizes a presentation on public service media (PSM) during the digital transition. It outlines several hypotheses about PSM funding and governance, including commercialization leading to justification problems, declining audiences for PSM genres, and threats to independence from political interference in negotiations. The document analyzes data from EBU countries showing slight increases in public funding from 2005-2010 and varying audience losses for PSB TV. It also discusses funding models from case studies and implications for radio from lessons of television, concluding that the digital transition presents challenges but no single roadmap, and more research is still needed.
IMF to appoint its first country head for Zimbabwe in a decade
The document reports on several news stories from Zimbabwe:
1) Stockbrokers in Zimbabwe are undergoing training on an automated trading system (ATS) that will be fully operational within six months, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe CEO. Pakistani trainers have started training brokers on how to use the new system.

3) The IMF is appointing its first resident representative in Zimbabwe in 10 years as the country works to mend relations with the international
How to channel shift the 8m people who are offline
This document discusses channel shift and getting more people online through UK online centres. It notes that over 750,000 people got online and registered with UK online centres between 2010 and 2011. If all digitally excluded adults got online and made one digital contact per month, it could save the UK government £900 million per year. The UK online centres program was given £30 million over 3 years to get 1 million more people online, and so far it has saved £118 million total while only spending £30 million, for a net savings of £88 million. Channel shift involves incentivizing people, using digital champions like family and volunteers, and pushing people to use government services online.

Supporters note the critic Mamphela Ramphele herself benefits from BEE and prioritizes big business over the poor. No plans were mentioned to press charges against those involved in the alleged blackmail of Goldfields.
Women's site
The document discusses whether women's sites are necessary in the media. It notes that a 2000 study found that women's voices in media were below 50% and often limited to victims or family members.

Niche marketing
Niche marketing involves concentrating all marketing efforts on a small, specific segment of the population that has needs not met by other companies. It allows companies to charge premium prices for highly differentiated products valued by the niche. While niche marketing can establish customer loyalty and potentially grow into a mass market, niches remain small and successful companies risk losing market share to larger competitors moving in.

Day 3 Ovum - Matthew Howett - Telco OTT Partnerships
This document discusses partnerships between telecommunications companies and over-the-top (OTT) providers to increase access to affordable internet. It notes that while internet and smartphone usage is growing, connectivity remains low in developing areas due to high costs and infrastructure gaps. Programs like Facebook's Internet.org aim to address this by offering limited free basic internet services through partnerships between OTTs and telcos. However, questions remain around which apps and services should be included to avoid further dividing the digital haves and have-nots, who will own the customer relationship, and regulatory barriers to proposed technologies like internet drones and balloons.

Measuring the complexity of the Internet: indexes and indicators
Measuring internet development in order to achieve better connectivity and resulting socio-economic development goals is a challenge and a necessity to ascertain progress made in terms of ICT sector development and socio-economic growth. Many intergovernmental, governments, non-profit and private organisations have sought to tackle the challenge through setting targets, defining indicators, and applying research methods to measure progress. Nevertheless, ambitious goals and targets relate mostly to the achievement or improvement of physical connectivity to ICT, while as more and more people get connected to the internet, the attainment of users' digital rights including capabilities and liberties will need to be measured as well and will need to be included in policy objectives on ICT development.

Beyond gov uk
The future of online government will likely see:
1) Government services becoming more invisible and only contacting citizens when needed to reduce issues or for additional input.
2) Digital technology challenging nation states as corporations and individuals push boundaries, requiring governments to thoughtfully embrace rather than resist digital change.
3) Potential for governments to have live data on public opinions, but also needing to help society progress on issues where majority opinions could hinder equality. Overall, governments must adapt to constant digital transformation and an increasingly networked world.

This document summarizes InterMedia's AudienceScapes research project which conducts surveys on media consumption and technology adoption across various countries. It provides examples of organizations that have used the research including a human rights group in Kenya, the World Bank for assessing mobile phone and money transfer impacts, and mobile network operators in Ghana and Zambia for assessing mobile money prospects. The research found that early mobile phone adopters tended to be more educated, wealthier males in urban areas compared to later adopters. Early adopters in Kenya and Ghana were also more likely to use their mobile phones differently than later adopters. The document concludes with contact information for the project.
Information and Communications Technologies for Development and Poverty Reduc...
This document discusses the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on development and poverty reduction. It presents evidence that ICT growth, especially mobile phone adoption, has been positively linked to economic growth in developing countries. While weak institutions can block effective ICT use, regulatory reforms and targeted subsidies may help address market inefficiencies and access gaps. Studies show ICTs have been adapted for and have had impacts in low-income countries, including increased prices received by farmers, expanded market reach, and time/cost savings. ICTs also have the potential to enhance delivery of public services and agricultural extension.
Introducing a4 ai
The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) was formed to address the issue of high broadband prices around the world. Broadband prices in developing countries can be 30% of GNI per capita for fixed broadband and 11-25% of GNI per capita for mobile broadband, compared to only 1.7% and 1.4% in developed countries. The A4AI aims to enable internet access for billions more users, especially in low-income countries, by supporting policies and reforms to achieve UN broadband targets of entry-level broadband priced at less than 5% of average monthly income. The A4AI will work with governments, companies, and organizations to build coalitions and share research on best practices,
Digital inequality into prosperity
The digital inequality in Europe and beyond needs to be broken. This can be achieved by having a universal treaty, a Digital Magna Carta, that lays the basic foundation for the goals that are to be achieved by all countries. However, not all countries has the same maturity level in ICT penetration. Therefore, to study other countries treaties with specific tasks outlined for how to become digital societies is important, both for EU and others. If we all shall enter the digital society upgrades of the ICT infrastructure will be built by the public and private sector and also by the contribution by people. When it concern purchases of personal technology we in EU has to buy this on our own, while in the developing world aid workers could disperse this technology to micro businesses. It is also important to educate people about the benefits of embracing the services a digital society provides which can be done by the public sector and in procurements from companies. Also include individuals who currently work at ICT companies that have an interest to work as spare-time workers. These have the benefit with knowledge about upcoming technology.
Redefining the Digital Divide
Access to the Internet has greatly expanded and the focus should now be on the willingness and ability of citizens to use it for productive purposes. The digital divide is now an issue that goes beyond the access gap, but also to be broadened to include underpinning divides, such as quality of access—the speed—and the ability to use it, if efforts to close the gap are to create real benefits. Our latest report Redefining Digital Divide reconsidered the nature of the digital divide and examined the strategies to overcome it in different countries.

Measuring the social dimension of development corridors
Rachel Tate presented research on measuring the social impact of the Maputo Development Corridor (MDC) which connects South Africa and Mozambique. While economic growth has been strong in both countries, this has not necessarily translated to equitable social development, especially in the MDC region. Socioeconomic indicators like life expectancy and education show considerable variance between provinces in the corridor. Employment opportunities and standards of living like access to services are higher in Mpumalanga, South Africa compared to Gazo and Maputo provinces in Mozambique. Challenges remain in ensuring more inclusive development that benefits local communities in the corridor.
VAS as catalyst for MobileMoney uptake: a Nigerian case
This document discusses how mobile value-added services (VAS) can help catalyze uptake of mobile money in Nigeria. While mobile money services were launched in 2011, adoption remains low due to issues like technology interoperability challenges, lack of customer understanding and trust, and insufficient expertise in rollout strategies. The document notes that Nigerians already pay for digitized services like VAS. It recommends that the government, mobile network operators, and private sector collaborate to harness the opportunity of VAS to drive more Nigerians to use mobile money services, with the goal of transitioning the customers accustomed to VAS payments to the mobile money ecosystem. Initiatives discussed include using mobile services for agriculture and implementing well-

A Mix Chart displays historical data of numbers in a graphical or tabular form. The Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart specifically shows the results of a sequence of numbers over different periods.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
