Workshop Report: Role of Mobile Technologies in Fostering Social DevelopmentW3C published a report on the June 2008 Workshop on the Role of Mobile Technologies in Fostering Social Development. Participants discussed how numerous available services on mobile phones could help people in underserved regions. Discussion underlined the need for a concerted effort among all the stakeholders (including practitioners, academics, regulators, and mobile industry) to build a shared view of the future of the mobile platform as a tool to bridge the digital divide. The Workshop was jointly organized by W3C and NIC.br, as part of the Digital World Forum (DWF) project led by W3C and managed by ERCIM. DWF is supported by the European Union's 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7). Links: |
