[DDN] shared phones in the developing world

[jc at coyotecommunications.com]

An online volunteer referred me to a resource on the Future Perfect  
blog, and I've spent about 30 minutes on the blog now – given how much  
blogs bore me, that's a major statement. It's "about the collision of  
people, society and technology, drawing on issues related to the  
design research" conducted by the blogger on behalf of her employer,  
Nokia.
