Mobile Web for Social Development

The Mobile Web represents a transformative platform for developing and delivering eServices in education, health, banking, and more. With over 2.7 billion mobile phones globally and 80% of the world population covered by GSM networks, the opportunities are immense. This platform eliminates interoperability issues, adheres to widely adopted web standards, and offers affordable hosting. Join us for a workshop organized by W3C on June 2-3, 2008, in São Paulo, Brazil, to explore the impact of mobile technologies on social development and how we can make the web more accessible and useful for rural and underprivileged communities.
