Roadmap
Mobile phones are something that is with everyone and something that everyone carries every time. It has now become the most personal and inevitable part of any human being. As the technology is advancing and the rates are decreasing, the reach out of mobile phones is even increasing at exponential rate and in coming days it will serve as a most powerful tool to do all types on electronic communication and transaction. So, we believe that mobile technology can be used to bridge the “Digital Divide”. Earlier, there used to be categories like rich people and poor people but in coming days the categories will be; people who get info on time and people who are deprived of information. Proper communication and sharing of information is extensively important and this is where mobile technology can play an important role. There are various ways to solve a problem. The only thing that is lacking is right information at right time and the approach. Mobile phones can be extensively used to convey information and raise awareness. Various Value Added Services can be used for two way communication and facilitating a lot of services. One of the major hurdles can be illiteracy. So, one of the best solutions is localization. If apps and solutions can be provided in local language and with easy navigation steps, the technology can prove to be a boom to the general people.
