From The Guardian:
In a world with more mobile devices than people, portable technology has the potential
to transform lives. Mobile access to the internet is helping to power social and economic
mobility all over the world. As experts in mobile communications convene in Barcelona
for the Mobile World Congress from 2 March, using mobile as a tool for inclusive growth
will be high on the agenda. Ahead of the event we are holding an online discussion
to explore practical ways to tackle existing barriers and share great ideas from around
the world. -Bill Maurer, dean of social sciences and director of the Institute for
Money, Technology and Financial Inclusion, University of California, Irvine
