I’ve been thinking about mobile phone use in the developing world. Not much in the way of telephone cables being built in rural Africa or India because they are expensive and you can deliver the same benefit just by using mobile phone.
The more I think about the water (and electricity) supply issue in rural Africa the more I think the equivalent of mobile phones are needed; distributed, stand-alone solutions that require the minimum of infrastructure. The pipes will come later, if they are needed.
