Article
An Economist Technology Quarterly piece on the rapid growth of mobile internet access in developing countries, prompted by the W3C’s launch of a Mobile Web for Social Development interest group. It highlights China, where mobile phone internet access was growing far faster than PC-based access, and notes that handset makers and browser firms were racing to build lighter, cheaper ways for the next wave of internet users — most of them in poorer countries and reaching the web via a phone rather than a computer — to get online.
