Digital Divide
Many people are using the Web but a significant number of people still do
not have regular, effective access and the ability to use digital technologies.
This is known as the ”Digital Divide”.

Solution
3. Spreading mobile with web access (2.4 billion-plus)
W3C in action• Used the third alternative• Organized Workshop (Mobile web)
– Two communities participated1. Experts in inventing new technology 2. Experts in economic and social issues

Good sign:- Workshops help them in further cooperation- Successful ICT projects rely on the cooperation of experts from both areas
Mobile web services

SMS based services • Most widespread • easy to use• low cost• available on nearly all phones

Challenges on mobile-web
• Browser availability• Configuration of internet settings• User interface• Cost of data service
Agreements in 2007
• Standardized platform• Inexpensive development and hosting• Large scope and wide audience• Easy availability and discoverability of existing
services
Situation in 2007
• Low-end phones are not supporting web-browsing capabilities well
• Web content is getting bigger in size
Suggestion for developing countries
• Text-based browser• Not create low-level web• One web (needs further work)• Develop local applications• Internationalization of content
Conclusion
• Need for public forum• Understand the software and hardware • Understand the global market• Can W3C pull this off?
