In a BBC Online News article today:
"Mobiles phones that acts as a personal helper, media player and portable vault for events you capture in images or video tend to grab the headlines at events like the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. But at the same time, some at the annual mobile industry showcase are extolling the virtues of simplicity and the help such phones can give to the developing world.
The mobile phone is the only viable technology that can bridge the digital divide," said Tom Phillips, chief government and regulatory affairs officer for the GSM Association, the industry body that oversees much of the mobile industry.
"It's the only solution that does not depend on billions and billions in aid money that would not be effectively invested even if it were available."
The article also talks about Negroponte's 100$ computer contribution.
