Mobile Internet Rules
As I was reading my favourite paper The Business Daily I came across a very interesting article on mobile usage in Africa. My home country Kenya leads the pack with Ghana. I generally havent been involved in mobile programming but this are surveys you read about and think about potential opportunities.
Generally when it comes to mobile phones I viewed the majority of the people using the SMS based services to access information and transfer money and not really browsing, from say Opera. However with falling prices of the high end internet enabled handsets the for interactive services is increasing and its leading to a subsequent drop in bandwidth charges. Mobile based applications demand will increase especially e-commerce based.
I have been looking at the available technology stacks that can exploit this medium and am still experimenting with some. Will keep you updated on my progress and your comments will be appreciated.
