Conversations for a Better World

Conversations for a Better World is a new site sponsored by the UN Population Fund. A "shared blog on population, gender, and health", this week's theme is Cell Phones and Social Change. They kindly asked if they could reprint a post I wrote for the O'Reilly Radar -- I enthusiastically said yes!

In "Mobile banks in the developing world prove simpler is better" I argue that frugal innovations like mobile banks have much to teach financial services companies in developed countries.
