Mobiles can
reduce poverty, says UN study.

UNCTAD
Information Economy Report says :
“ Poor
people often don’t have access to vital information on issues such as current
market prices, weather reports and new opportunities for earning income.
The
penetration rate of mobile phones is increasing as the technology is affordable
for the poor to purchase and use “.
This is
borne out by the fact that getting Job Alerts on Mobiles and applying against
those jobs directly from mobiles, is fast catching-up in India .
In India ,
mobile penetration reached 60 % in Dec 2010 and cheapest handsets dropped to $
20 /-.
Now compare
this with internet penetration of just 1 %
Amongst
millions of Indian jobseekers, Job Alert on Mobile is becoming a favorite pass-time !
With

Jobs
for All = Peace on Earth
