Connecting the unconnected
Mobile networks in emerging markets are too expensive to build and run at a price low-income people can afford. But they could be developed much more cheaply if network operators in these countries collaborated with the other stakeholders—governments, mobile-data-service providers, and local entrepreneurs—that have an interest in extending their reach.
The take-away: This article presents business models for building low-cost mobile networks that would yield substantial economic and social benefits not only for their developers but also for low-income consumers in emerging markets.
