Do you really think people in Somalia can afford theses things like in the US?
No, many cannot afford $600 Caddilac-style phones to take 10 megapixel pictures and watch UTube videos. Instead they buy $100 VWBug-style phones that let them get competitive prices for their crops and other goods instead of accepting low-ball bids from whoever wanders by their village.
Africans are ahead of at least the US in using phone minutes as a benign practical digital currency. This, not destructive and useless bitcoins, are the real revolution.
