According to industry trade group CTIA, wireless data traffic doubled from 2010 to 2011, to an incredible 341.2 petabytes -= 341,200 trillion bytes of data. Since voice traffic remained constant, this shows that people are clearly finding new ways to use their cellphones. The adoption rates in Africa are most compelling.
The 2012 Afrobarometer survey found that 93% of their survey communities had cellphone service - amazing when compared to only 23% having a post office, 30% a police station, 51% a health clinic and 82% an electricity grid.
A recent World Bank report finding that in Kenya "basic mobile savings is already partially filling the gap, answering the acute need many Kenyans, particularly the poor, have for a secure place to store funds." For developing countries, without the existing financial infrastructure, micropayments has already taken a strong hold.
Clearly mobile is hot today - and a major device for the 21st century for communication, information and now finance as well: "Mobile services are changing the way that billions of people around the world live, work and socialise," notes Michael O'Hara, chief marketing officer for the international trade group GSMA, "and we are seeing a steady evolution towards a fully digital life."
Timetric's recent market research report on mobile banking reports that "at the beginning of 2011, 30% of mobile phone users in developed markets used a mobile banking service on their mobile phones at least once. By 2015 however, a number of forecasts expect at least 50% of US mobile users to be conducting transactions from their mobile devices."
I was fortunate to be able to look at this new phenomenon for a NewsBreak for Information Today. Google, Apple, Walmart,PayPal and now Isis are some of the non-traditional companies hoping to move into 21st century banking. You might want to give my report a read. Are you ready to switch from banks and cash to mobile? Who do you trust with your banking?

ReplyDeleteI consider very important to talk about how technology is benefiting or affecting us in the immediate future.
ReplyDeleteRegarding our economy and finance I must say that I trust much more in physical currency that in the virtual one. In fact, bitcoin went far down at loss in the stock market and it seems not very reliable for investors. Then, why should it be for us? I can not imagine having my bank account balance on a number from the screen of my phone and suddenly it disappears!
Für alle diejenigen, die nichts beitragen, sondern bei der Post schreien, habe ich ein Angebot für Sie von Denis Thatcher: "Besser den Mund halten und dachte, ein Narr, als es zu öffnen und alle Zweifel zu beseitigen."

Ik hoop dat deze forums geeft mij constructieve feedback en motiveert me om eindelijk mijn eigen computer Buil.

ReplyDeleteHow is it that just anybody can write a blog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said something extremely impressive –more like youve painted a quite picture around an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, right here.

ReplyDeletePersonnellement, je pense que celui-ci est le meilleur travail de votre part.
