Mobile technology in Africa
Mobile technology in Africa is a fastest growing market.〔http://aiti.mit.edu/〕 Nowhere is the effect more dramatic than in Africa, where mobile technology often represents the first modern infrastructure of any kind.〔http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_39/b4051054.htm〕 Only 10% of Africans have access to the internet, the lowest percentage in the world.〔http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats1.htm〕 However, 50% of Africans have mobile phones and their penetration is expanding rapidly.〔https://www.budde.com.au/Research/2010-Global-Mobile-Communications-Key-Trends-and-Growth-in-a-Challenging-Environment.html〕 This means that mobile technology is the largest platform in Africa, and can access a wide range of income groups. AppsAfrica reports Mobile App downloads will reach 98 billion〔(Mobile App downloads will reach 98 billion )〕 which will have a huge benefit for mobile app developers in Africa ()
==Non-profit mobile technology==
Thus mobile technology can be used, not only to generate profit from high income groups, but to provide information and create social change for low income groups. For example, mobile technology is used to provide information on health, education, finances or to access specific groups such as the youth.
However, people who are very poor have very basic phones. Thus non-profit mobile technology is not aimed at advanced smart phones, but ranges from sending out bulk SMSs to USSD, mobi-sites and mobile communities. AppsAfrica〔(/ details the next 1 Billion phone users will come from Rural areas )〕 writes the next 1 Billion phone users will come from Rural areas ()
The ultimate aim of non-profit mobile technology is to make it free, or as near to free for the end user. This means enlisting donors and getting mobile networks on board. Internationally, companies such as TextToChange, FrontlineSMS, RapidSMS, Ushahidi all work with mobiles in health, disaster relief and aid management.
