Example of what? Business model?
There are plenty of examples both in the article (bicycle calling providers) and elsewhere (mobile micro-finance).
And there are thousands of other uses people in places like Africa might be hungry for, but nobody really even tries to provide them with a solution.
- Tichy 17y agoI saw the bicycle calling provider, but my "yeah"-sensors somehow didn't fire. I don't think that kind of thing will see widespread adoption. I've been reading about this too often, but nothing seems to have happened yet. How widespread is the micro-finance? If any of these things would take off, maybe it would enhance economics to a point where people could afford real computers (or at least "real" mobile internet devices like the iPhone). In any case betting on an enormous market for WAP and SMS apps seems like a wild bet.
