I think this is not going to have the huge impact you might imagine. Less than a billion people in the world remain without access to a cellphone now[0], and the ones that remain will probaby not have their lives transformed by a x$ cellphone. My guess would be that they either don't want/need one (too young, too old, religous reasons) or are in such utter destitution that a cellphone is unlikely to adress the underlying causes of their poverty, eg acute famine, civil war, etc. [0]http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Documents/facts/ICTFactsFigures2011.pdf http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Documents/facts/ICTFa...
