Tom Molony, who has been a PhD student at the centre for African Studies in Edinburgh University, is about to defend his very interesting thesis on mobile phones and internet use by entrepreneurs in Tanzania, which I had the pleasure of supervising these last 4 years. He has done a thorough ethnographic study of how modern communications technologies are used and integrated into rural and urban contexts, domestic and international business, the formal and 'informal' sectors including construction gangs, agricultural intermediaries and carvers. It also considers policy, supply etc.. He will be publishing this over the next year, and hopefully conducting further research in the field.He is currently working for the House of Commons as their expert of ICT in Africa. I have forwarded this mail to him, I am sure he will be interested to talk to members of the group.regards James On 26 Aug 2005, at 10:06, Richard Swinford wrote:Hi all, thanks for the link.I'm presently looking at the role of mobiles, other infrastructure and regulation in the provision of telecoms services in the developing world.I'd be particularly interested to hear if anyone on the forum is located in, or has experience of the sociology telecoms in the following countries: Botswana, Uganda, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, Colombia.
