The Vodafone Policy Paper Series Number 3I hope you enjoy our third Vodafone Policy Paper.Our aim in these papers is to provide a platform for leading experts to write on issues in public policy that are important to us at Vodafone.These are the people that we listen to,even if we do not always agree with them.These are their views,not ours.We think that they have important things to say that should be of interest to anybody concerned with good public policy.
About 18 months ago we became interested in studies on the economic and social impacts of mobile telecommunications. However,a thorough review of the existing literature revealed surprisingly little systematic evidence.There were many anecdotes,some interesting sociological research,but few successful studies looking at the economic impacts on individuals,businesses and overall economic activity. This project has its roots in our dissatisfaction with that situation. It seemed extraordinary that a technology that has clearly taken the world by storm had attracted so little rigorous research. It was equally clear that there was widespread interest in the subject.As I discussed our programme and ideas with people both inside and outside the industry,the appetite for this work became obvious.
We wanted the work to be able to survive the scrutiny of a potentially skeptical audience.Therefore,with advice from the Vodafone Advisory Panel (a group of academics,officials and NGO representatives with interests in this field) we developed a programme of research.
The field was wide open so we could have chosen to focus anywhere but we started with the impact of mobile in the developing world.The reason was simple.We were inspired by a conversation with Alan Knott-Craig,the CEO of our affiliate company in South Africa,in which he talked about the impact mobile was having in Africa.The variety of the examples he mentioned were simply extraordinary.
