Proceedings of The 2nd International Conference on M4D Mobile Communication Technology for Development (M4D 2010), 10-11 November 2010 Kampala, Uganda Research report Karlstad University Studies 2010:31 ISSN 1403-8099 ISBN 978-91-7063-323-2 © The authors Distribution: Karlstad University Faculty of Economic Sciences, Communication and IT Centre for HumanIT 651 88 Karlstad Sweden +46 54 700 10 00 www.kau.se http://www.kau.se/humanit Electronic version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-6480 Printed at: Universitetstryckeriet, Karlstad 2010 Second print with minor changes. Foreword When the 1st conference on Mobile Communication Technology for Development (M4D) was held in Karlstad, Sweden, in 2008 we wished to create an event to support research practice and development in the M4D area by encouraging academic discourse as well as disseminating practitioners’ experiences. In the aftermath of the event that gathered participants from all over the world we realised that researchers and practitioners within the area of M4D had been waiting for a conference to convene, discuss and exchange ideas and knowledge. It could have stopped in Karlstad, but we wished to make M4D a regular event in the academic calendar. So it was with determination that we announced early 2010 that we were planning for a second conference, taking place less than two years from the inaugural event. In order to counteract a Western bias, this time we wanted to host the event in Africa together with a local partner. With the guidance of Johan Hellström, a researcher at Stockholm University and member of the IPID network, we found an excellent partner in Makerere University, Faculty of Computing & Informatics Technology, one of the main training, research and consultancy centre in mobile technology in sub-Saharan Africa. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Jude Lubega, Dr. Idris Rai, Michael Niyitegeka and Ali Ndiwalana, for their efforts and determination in making M4D2010 happen. Many meetings, discussions, e-mails and phone calls later it is a reality, the 2nd International Conference on M4D, in Kampala, capital of Uganda. It is our profound pleasure to introduce these conference proceedings with over 40 contributions from more than 15 different nations. This years conference contributions covers a wide field of mobile technology uses, from mHealth to mAgriculture, from mCommerce and mGovernance to mLearning and Best Practices. The papers encompass aspects from ICT developments in sub-Saharan Africa to mobile telephony in Latin America, from oral telemedicine in Botswana to privacy issues in Bangladesh, from mobile Internet pricing in rural India to mobile money use in Uganda. These few examples from the rich diversity of papers in this volume bear witness to the prominence and importance of mobile technology for development. On behalf of the organising committee we would like to express our sincere thanks to all the paper, poster and demo presenters, who in this volume share their works and ideas with all of us. We would also like to express our gratitude to all the reviewers who have dedicated parts of their summer vacations to thoroughly read and comment papers. We especially thank the keynote presenters, Richard Duncombe from the University of Manchester and Ken Banks, the founder of kiwanja.net and creator of FrontlineSMS, for accepting our invitation. We are also happy to announce contributions from several sponsors and partners: Faculty of Computing & Informatics Technology at Makerere University for ground assistance in Kampala and reception; IPID and HumanIT for travel grants supporting scholars and research students attending the conference; KLM for sponsoring air fares; SPIDER, SIDA and UNICEF for organisational assistance and supporting events; the Conference Unit at Karlstad University for managing the registration and payments. A special thanks goes to Robin Larsson for website design and management and Maggie Mburu for proofreading, co-editing and management. We want to thank all of you who have contributed to M4D2010 and we would also like to take this opportunity to announce our intention to invite you in 2012 to another place but with the same amplitude, focus and determination!

  • A Fugitive Success That Finland Is Quickly Becoming a Victim of Its Own Success
    Professor Charles Sabel from Columbia Law School and Professor AnnaLee Saxenian from UC Berkeley argue in their book A Fugitive Success that Finland is quickly becoming a victim of its own success. In recent decades Finnish firms in the forest products and telecommunications industries have become world leaders. But the kind of discipline that made this success possible, and the public policies that furthered it, is unlikely to secure it in the future. Efficiency improvements and incremental A Fugitive Success innovations along the current business trajectory will gradually lead these industries into a dead-end unless they use innovation as a vehicle for transforming themselves into new higher value businesses. Saxenian and Sabel raise some serious concerns about the readiness of these industries, and the Finnish innovation system as a whole, for the needed transformation. A Fugitive Success is required reading for A Fugitive Success those involved in the development of the Finnish innovation environment and Finland’s Economic Future implementing the new national innovation strategy.
