Mobile Strategy for Small Business: It’s About Local Convenience

Mobile Technology, Poverty and Development

Slightly off topic… but as I was catching up on some of my Google Reader reading I came across this post by Hannes over at the Mobile Banking Blog on Defeating Poverty.  Over the last year I have come across this topic perhaps hundreds of times.  Those of you who follow the mobile space beyond [...]
