 The New America Foundation is a think tank based here in Washington DC and there's a number of different focus areas. The focus area that I focus my research on is on the intersection of technology, mobile technology, economic development and entrepreneurship. And broadly speaking I think when we're looking at the universal impact of mobile technology around the world, we need to keep in mind three main components. Tom mentioned before that there are six billion mobile phone subscribers in the world. Five billion of those are located in the developing world. And when you talk about developed infrastructure, telecommunications infrastructure is often the most modernized and developed infrastructure in some of these developing economies and so how do you leverage some of those, how do you leverage that for impact? And I think that speaks to this larger trend that we're seeing that was discussed in the first panel, which is that mobile technology I would argue isn't just a change agent, it's a leapfrogging agent. And so what we've seen is that mobile technology and mobile phones have leapfrogged and skipped the development of technology from landlines to cellular towels. And as well as changing the velocity of money in places like Kenya, the Philippines, as well as Tanzania. And I think one of the areas of interest that I've focused on increasingly, because I think this is where even in the developing world the trends going towards is the mobile web. So even in, you know, we were mentioning before and everybody raised their hands when they were asked about if they had a mobile device in their pocket. And Pew came out with a study that said 85% of adults over the age of 18 have a mobile phone, 45% have a smartphone. And when you look at the dichotomy between the developing world, non-smartphones or feature phones are still ubiquitous, but increasingly we're seeing smartphones even in the developing world, which I think is a really interesting trend. I was playing around with a $50 Android device that has 3G connectivity and a camera phone in Kenya. And if you look at Kenya as an example of the mobile web and this mobile leapfrogging, you'll see that the central bank of Kenya just released data that said when it comes to people accessing the web, 99% access the web through their mobile phone. And so this has tremendous potential in terms of focusing on these different research areas and I think what's even more interesting is that these three components are pointing us in a direction where mobile devices are not just becoming an access point to important information, but they're becoming an authoring point. And I've tried to focus my research on how do you make this more of a meaningful contribution at the global scale? One of the things I wanted to ask you about, you seem very enthusiastic about all this. I was just in Europe a couple of weeks ago and one of the last couple of times I've been back, one of the things that I've noticed is that maybe five or eight years ago, some of the U.S. companies where they had European cell phone makers, the guys who were working in the U.S. would have European cell phones because they were so much better than... But now it's like some of the U.S. models are like the big thing over there and I'm just wondering, is it your sense that the U.S. is sort of regaining a very strong position versus the rest of the world in terms of its part place in the mobile world? Yeah, I think when you're comparing the U.S., one of the things that it is a leader or the leader on is 4G or LTE technologies. And so in that way the U.S. is a very interesting market that's leading the way. I was conducting research in India and I was struck by the fact that there were seven mobile network operators with more than 50 million users. And what that does is that extremely competitive environment has driven down costs not just for voice services but increasingly to generate revenue. They have to push their users into data revenues and data models. And so when it comes to devices, I think when you look at the developing world and as I was saying before, I think that's the large growth areas. Android services in these open platforms are literally leading the way as well. And so I would argue what's interesting or what's when you're talking about devices and when you're talking about different markets and each has a different context and each kind of has an interesting story to be told when it comes to innovation or where there's impact happening. Okay, let me ask a question and we'll just go down the line and everybody respond to it. So where are we today? That's one of the things I can't, I've had trouble figuring out. Are we at, because some of the things that you'll hear as well, you know, mobile's really coming on but you haven't seen anything yet. And how is the world, how are things going to change in the next 10 or 15 years in terms of, I mean, what is the, you know, nobody's going to hold it because nobody's going to remember probably what you said tomorrow. So I mean, what are we going to see over the next 10 or 15 years in terms of the way the mobility is moving? And let's start, well, let's break things up a little bit, Eric. You go first. Yeah, and I think I was touching on this a little before but I think when it comes to the mobile web, you know, there's going to be a huge, not just within the United States but globally speaking, a huge trend towards developing countries coming onto the web through their mobile phones. The large part of the world will access the web through their mobile phone and this has tremendous implications for policy and a wide range of things. And I think as well what was touching on in the first panel, which I would like to echo again is that mobile data presents a huge opportunity to better understand underserved communities around the world, whether it be, you know, an interesting example was in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. Mobile network operators in Haiti opened up their data to better track, displace populations, to channel relief services, to track the outbreak of cholera and I think, you know, as this mobile web penetration grows, this data is going to become richer and richer and there's going to be more interesting insights to be gleaned. Obviously privacy issues are going to need to be accounted for and anonymized data but there's a lot of interesting movements in this space that we're already seeing. I was talking with Robert Fitzpatrick, the UN Global Pulse, and he was convening the 10 leading mobile network operators in Indonesia with a ministry agency and they're looking to create MOUs right now around better sharing of data and I think that, you know, there's a lot of really exciting things. I'm on the side that we're at the tip of the iceberg and we're going to keep on moving really fast and we need to position ourselves for a lot of these trends globally as well here in the United States.
