It further mentioned that Commonwealth independent states, the alliance of countries formerly in the Soviet Union, has the highest mobile penetration with 1.7 subscriptions for every person. Africa as reported has the least, with 63 subscriptions per 100 habitants. The director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau, says “the mobile revolution is ‘m-powering’ people in developing countries by delivering ICT applications in education, health, government, banking, environment and business”. The report of ITU also shared that two-thirds of the world population are still offline therefore, more is still required to be done.
I found this report quite fascinating
and to discover that technology is moving really fast alongside the human population.
If two-third of the world population are still not yet online, this means that
by the time half of the population would be online, mobiles would have likely outnumbered
the population of people. Every day, we read, hear or experience the release of
new technology with some touch of innovation…this has been quite exciting. It
is also liberating to possess smart phones that could do equally what computers
and laptops could do. It is indeed ‘m-powering’, more like having a mobile office…especially
if your work requires the use of computer/laptop and internet. ‘Bienvenue’ to
the world of technology!
