Notes de l'éditeur
- Derailing the conf call (and would do it again) growth of ‘dumbphones’ outstripping adoption of smartphones. I’ll talk about specifics later.
- Show of hands. Stay on your computers.
- On ~1,000 carriers worldwide. GSM standard set in mid 80s, but didn’t pick up steam until mid-late 90s.
- Anything that keeps a user away from communicating is quickly discarded. Wheat from chaff. Identity: “Japanese schoolgirl watch” on Wired, decorating phones, dongles (phones themselves are nearly disposable) Nokia breaks users down by categories, not geo: Simplicity seekers Technology leaders Life jugglers Elsewhere, phones are status symbol. More phones, greater status. Jan Chipchase, what do we carry? (bigger to smaller): Owned -> Considered -> Carried -> Used 3 most important things we carry: keys, money, phone. Survival: shelter, sustenance, support. He very elegantly suggests that these fill the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which you may or may not believe in. But his most elegant conclusion is that the phone TRANSCENDS TIME AND SPACE (distance and async messaging), even as it’s personal, private and convenient.
- Convenience and reach 4.6b subscribers globally In US, all opt-in Messaging used across every age group, increasingly skewing older (parents learn to communicate with kids); reaching 50% adoption among people in their 40s. In the UK, adoption not lower than 80% for anything but oldest demos.
- Culture of the phone -> names still differ (via the Economist). Whereas, “Internet” is internet everywhere, even France, hard as they try otherwise. Smartphones, ~13% of the 309m handsets shipped in 3Q ‘09. By 2015, all will be “smart” (whatever that means in 2015). Breached 4b subs worldwide in ’08 Among the world’s 800m illiterate, still use phones but delegate. How does this change our design thinking?
- 5 year period: 2003-9. 10X more mobile than landlines. Uganda saw 100 fold growth from ‘95 to ‘08 (0.2 to 23 per 100) Kenya, 15k handsets a decade ago, now over 15m South Africa, mobile outnumbers landlines 8X In rural Uganda, some people are using mobile numbers instead of home addresses painted above doors (Jan Chipchase) Wireless employment: Disabled beggars in The Gambia employed by Gamcel selling SIM card and topups. Now offered police protection, where previously abuse went unpunished.
- Ground/street-level ideas. “Designing for the future” True, grassroots innovation informs our thinking. The information on the ballot and presidential election results in Russia will be available through SMS by a short code response mechanism. The number of votes collected by each candidate will be available by simply sending request to number 5503. Fairly standard stuff. However they can also learn the voting results at a certain polling station of a certain region, again by SMS request. For example, to find out the voting results in the Republic of Karelia 201 polling station, it is necessary to indicate 10 201 in your SMS, where the first two figures reflect the number of the Russian federal subject, while the numbers after the gap correspond to the number of the polling station. - http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/blog/sms-cold-war/ Previously, farmers in India and Nigeria had to drive into town to get grain prices. Costly, infrequent (couldn’t move fast enough w/ changing market demand – SMS implemented in Nigeria, prices drop 6.4%, reflecting market). Leveling the playing field for rural farmers. Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia: P2P payments, without bank accounts and transfer of prepaid purchases. In Kenya, 42% of all money transfers through mobile. 1b worldwide who have phones but no bank acct. In Uganda, “sente” -> send money as airtime (village phone lady or kiosk operator sells airtime on prepaid card, transfers it to recipient kiosk by SMS, recipient user gets cash) Register your phone w/ an agent, provide ID, deposit cash. Cattle dealers put money on their phones instead of carrying cash, should they be robbed on the road. Rural hospitals get texted emergency procedure, medication info, to areas otherwise cut off. Boston PD brought in leads on 4 high profile killings. 1,000 tips. “Phone ladies”, kiosks
- Global mobile penetration per capita is 64% Took 30 years to get past 4b subscribers – the fastest, widest spreading technology ever.
- Phones as status. In Latin America, some have phones exclusively for their bosses. In Europe, most employed people have 2 phones. In US, 1 of 6 do. Here in the US, users subscribe to campaigns for brands they like, or bands they follow to be first, in the know; must appeal to the purpose of a phone.
- Navigating it: Get a dedicated shortcode through Neustar, or a shared one through a service provider 3-9 mo provisioning for dedicated, or immediate – 1 mo on shared Keep compliant with MMA requirements

- http://sproxil.com/learnaboutfakes.php If Symptoms Persist is a documentary on the issues regarding fake drugs in developing nations http://www.mpedigree.org/home/symptoms.php http://mobileactive.org/sms-against-fake-drugs http://nciia.org/taxonomy/term/469 http://sproxil.com/moreonfakes.php http://cgiu.clintonglobalinitiative.org/Page.aspx?pid=3638 Email from Alden Zecha, CFO of Sproxil -- Hi Vitaliy, Thanks for contacting us and for supporting Sproxil’s endeavors. At this time we don’t have any hard statistics which we can publicly release about the impact of our work. Our launch in Nigeria was only last month and we feel that it would be misleading for us to provide early numbers until at least a few more months have passed. We can share anecdotal data that consumers are embracing our solution and that there are been mini “shortages” of the particular drug and dosage that we are working with. We would like to attribute that to the belief that the supply of counterfeits is being reduced and that consumers are switching from questionable alternatives since they can be assured of the authenticity of the products working with us. We can say that even in the short time we have been in the market thousands of consumers have already used our service, hundreds of thousands of real products have been labeled and that there is growing interest from pharmaceutical companies. We think that this is just the beginning of a larger wave.
