Summary

The Mobile Web (www.w3.org/Mobile/) is an initiative launched by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, and Director of the W3 Consortium (W3C). The basic idea is very simple: there are over 1 billion networked computers and more that 4 billion mobile phones in the world. However most of the computers are in the West, whereas most of the mobile phones are in the developing world. ISF joins this initiative as a technology partner, helping to use the Mobile Web as a tool to connect isolated communities and for social changes in Africa and other developing countries.
