Two Stories about Mobile Phones and Rural Kenyans

Bev pointed to another mobile phone story: global: ICTs Impact In Developing Nations:
"Against all predictions for the Kenyan telecommunications sector it is clear that mobile telephony has become an absolute necessity to all including the ordinary rural villager. For the mobile telephony to have real impact it is important that the basic instructions be extended to cover indigenous languages."
Bev also has a post in her blog about Barack Obama's Kenyan grandmother. Like Bev, it's folks like Obama that give me some hope today here in the US. :-(
