  • India and China
    India and China: A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Phones in Agriculture By C2014 Prashanthi Bonthu Submitted to the graduate degree program in Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Professor Eric Hanley ________________________________ Committee Member Professor Darlene Budd ________________________________ Committee Member Professor John James Kennedy Date Defended: Feb 3rd , 2014 The Thesis Committee for Prashanthi Bonthu certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: India and China: A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Phones in Agriculture ________________________________ Chairperson Professor Eric Hanley Date approved: Feb 3, 2014 ii Abstract In 2010, China and India were named the first and second largest mobile phone markets in the world based on their number of subscribers. India and China have focused on extending their telecommunication services into rural areas for socio-economic benefits. Both countries liberalized and privatized the industry under different political regimes utilizing different strategies. The aim of this thesis is to examine the collaborative efforts of public and private agencies in India and the role they do in disseminating information to farmers through mobile phones when compared to the government agencies in China that have been created to share that information in order to determine which program is more effective. To answer this question, the thesis compares Indian and Chinese policies and programs enacted to encourage sales and use of mobile phones in the agricultural sector to increase efficiency and encourage growth. As free market principles and private for-profit corporations are generally more efficient than government agencies, this thesis hypothesizes that the policies and development initiatives taken by the Indian government are more successful in disseminating information than the government agency approach followed by China.

  • State of Mobile Networks: South Africa (August 2017)
    State of Mobile Networks: South Africa (August 2017) The mobile broadband market in South Africa is still evolving, but according to OpenSignal's latest round of tests, half of the country's operators are already providing good accessibility to LTE services as well as decent speeds. Our first report on South Africa analyzes more than 289 million datapoints from 20,422 devices to examine the 3G and 4G consumer experience provided by four operators: Cell C, MTN, Telkom and Vodacom. What we found was a clear divide in our metrics between the two market leaders Vodacom and MTN and their two smaller rivals. Report Facts 289,240,043 20,422 May 1 - Jul South Measurements Test Devices 31, 2017 Africa Sample Period Report Location Highlights Vodacom led or tied in all OpenSignal MTN, Vodacom in a close race for 4G dominance metrics Despite Vodacom’s long list of wins, MTN was hot on its heels in nearly Vodacom set itself apart with a trio of wins and an equal number every metric. The two had the fastest LTE speeds in South Africa in our of top-of-the-table draws in our six metrics. Vodacom stood out tests, both averaging downloads greater than 22 Mbps. MTN and in particular in OpenSignal's 3G speed and latency categories, Vodacom were also neck and neck in our 4G availability results. Our though it faced much stiffer competition from MTN in our core users on both networks were able to latch onto their LTE signals more 4G metrics. than 70% of the time.
