Hello all, A while ago I sent out a mail describing this link. Unfortunately I included the incorrect link. Here is one that should work better. Sorry for the confusion.
Rich L. Here is a good review of the problems of powering mobile phones in Africa. Jan Chipchase follows the process of purchasing the charging of a mobile phone battery. Be sure to check out the link to the longer powerpoint presentations at the end of the piece. It is there that you reall get a sense of how complex the whole process can be.
