Mobile Communications

MobileBeyond is about the future of mobile communications. There are now four billion mobile phones in use on Earth. People in virtually all nations use mobile phones and other wireless devices to communicate with each other by voice and the written word, while mobile Internet access is becoming common as data-enabled mobile devices proliferate. We live–literally–in a global communications web.

Developing nations and continents–Africa, India, the U.K., South Asia, Indonesia and the Middle East, in particular–are experiencing the highest mobile phone growth. Every month, for example, 10 million people in India acquire a mobile device, adding to India’s base of 320 million handsets. Over 50 million peoplen India now access the mobile Internet for information content, mobile applications, text messaging, email and mobile portals.

What’s causing this unstoppable growth and how will it affect human communication behavior? That’s MobileBeyond’s journey. In this blog, I’ll cover the effects of mobile technology.  Journey with me as the most important changes in human communication history unfold.
