[UgaBYTES] MobileActive08 Summit Starts in Johannesburg

[Meddie Mayanja]

Hey all,

Many thanks, David. Let me encourage you to follow this event. There are a number of blogs, photos and videos to catch the flavour of the discussion. I hope we can pull out some specific applications and ways to take advantage of the power of mobile phones at telecentres and network level. Found it interesting. Check the site: http://www.mobileactive08.org.

Dean is one of the participants - and - will probably bring back more info.

Best, Meddie
