I really like the term “information poverty”. It magnifies the more fundamental problem that faces developing countries than the more oft used term “digital divide”.

It is amazing to me what SIM cards alone have done for women in the developing markets. Even if she does not have a mobile phone her self, she has our own SIM card, and can plug it into her husband’s mobile phone when he comes home to check her SMSs. Never before have women urban and rural been so reachable!
