Project
The EMH initiative was launched by the Global System for Mobile Communication Assocation in February of 2005. Its goal is to further the GSMA’s target of giving 80% of the world’s population access to mobile communications by 2010 by lowering the cost of access to mobile technology. EMH handsets were initially supplied in 17 countries including India, South Africa, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Yemen, Sri Lanka and Kenya.
