Research Approaches to Mobile Use in the Developing World: A Review of the Literature
Overview In 2002, the total number of mobile (cellular) phones in use worldwide exceeded the number of land-lines. It took a century for the world to accumulate the first billion landlines, but only a decade or so to do the same with mobiles. Current projections suggest that the world will continue to add mobile lines faster than fixed lines; indeed, the next billion new phone users will use primarily mobiles (ITU, 2003). This boom has impacted both the developed world and the developing world, but may be doing so in different ways.
