Ann: SAS to Partner with Developing World Smartphone Leader, page-24

Indeed “Havoline”…….
The SSG call and data software will be embedded into the phones for free, but to activate and use, they’ll need to subscribe through a provider for a small fee. Personally I don’t care if that fee is minuscule compared to others... e.g. 2Billion x activations @ (say) 10c = $200million………….. then the small ongoing fee based on usage.

Other Optional Value Added services for the $1 Smartphone includes…….
Trust based Peer 2 Peer Lending
Smart Wallet for mobile payments
Resources for front line health workers – labor & delivery, family planning & nutrition
Digital Financial services
Agriculture
