We’re equipping spaces with computers – now what about phones?
We’re used to equipping ICT suites with PCs, especially public access suites. Well, that’s what communities want, isn’t it, to access the internet.
Well, yes, but it seems more and more people are acessing the net using their mobile phone, as this BBC article shows.
I wonder if this could be the start of a shift in how communities, espcailly those in more deprived areas use the net. When we’re putting together our capital funding bids, we need to seriously consider the equipping of community facillities with mobile access, and gearing our curriculum towards this.
