  • Mobile Government Swedish Style

    This article is excerpted from a report titled: "A Swedish View on Mobile Government" by Olov Östberg, Senior Advisor at Statskontoret, The Swedish Agency for Public Administration.

  • Mobile Government Swedish Style

    When it comes to the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the Swedish thrust is for an Information Society for all. There isn't a crystal clear definition of what this means, but the fact that Sweden for the last three years has been ranked first in the Information Society Index, shows that the course and pace of the thrust is about right.

  • Mobile govt imperatives for Nigeria

    In the face of Global economic downturn and reducing fortunes of governments worldwide, citizens engagement has never been so important and required to have a sense of belonging which is absent in the governance structure of Nigeria from the top –down.

    The reality is that it will take a few years to get things working back because of the disequilibrium occasioned by the displacement of economic means of empowerment across all strata of the world societies and economy.

  • Mobile govt uptake in Singapore

    Singapore’s Central Provident Fund Board, the first agency to try out the government’s new mobile phone application for citizen services, has revealed early results from the trial.

    The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) launched the application, which allows users to access the national authentication system, or SingPass, on their mobile phones, in March this year.

    Currently, 58 agencies provide online access to 260 services via SingPass, which has seen transaction volume increase from 4.5 million in 2003 - the year of launch - to 34.4 million in 2009.

  • Mobile Internet cost in UAE among world’s cheapest: ITU

    The country is ranked as the world’s most dynamic country in terms of ICT development

    The UAE jumped 12 spots in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) report in Measuring the Information Society (MIS) 2013, landing at No. 33 out of 157 global economies. The UAE featured at No. 45 in last year’s ranking, and this year’s surge is the most by any country.

    “The United Arab Emirates records the highest increase in rank, shooting up 12 places to 33rd,” sates the recently published report.

  • Mobile phone-based authentication market set to grow

    Goode Intelligence, a specialist provider of information security and mobile commerce research and analysis, has issued a report revealing that the market for mobile phone-based authentication products and services is set to grow significantly over the next five years especially in North American markets.

    Goode Intelligence forecasts that for North America, mobile phone-based authentication products and services will generate just over $48 million in 2010 and that the market will grow to $142 million in revenue by 2014; an increase of $94 million and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24 percent.

  • Mobile phones and social media in the global south

    While the benefits of e-governance have been observed in many high-income developed economies, there is still much skepticism about its applicability in the global South.

    E-governance or “electronic governance” is the application of information and communications technology (ICT) to government functions and processes so as to bring about efficient and effective governance. Unlike the comprehensive planning, political and technical support that e-governance projects in developed countries have, many of the e-governance projects implemented in developing countries do not have such an advantage.

  • Mobile phones to deliver health messages in Qatar

    Public health information will be made available from Qatar’s Sidra Medical and Research Centre via people’s mobile phones, according to its chief research adviser.

    David Kerr said the centre was keen to exploit e-health schemes such as SMS alerts that would be an effective form of communication between clinicians and the public in a country where almost everyone has a mobile phone.

  • Mobile Rechner für Österreichs Polizei

    In einem Feldversuch testet die österreichische Polizei bis Jahresende den Einsatz von mobilen Rechnern, die Zugriff auf verschiedenste Datenbanken ermöglichen - im Auto und zu Fuß.

    Die Polizei soll mit neuen technischen Hilfsmitteln mobiler werden: Das "Flatbook" und ein Pocket-PC sollen der Polizei künftig den mobilen Zugriff auf Fahndungsabfragen und polizeilich relevante Informationssammlungen ermöglichen.

  • Mobile technology, not broadband, is the way to connect America

    Much has been in the news lately about the Obama administration's plan to invest $7.2 billion in increased broadband access throughout the U.S. over the next two years. A billion or so of that money will likely flow into California coffers. But this huge investment in fixed broadband may not be what we need to achieve the goal of 21st century connectivity in a future gone mobile.

    The supporters of broadband make a good case. The one-third of mostly low-income, elderly and rural Americans without broadband will miss out on telemedicine, distance learning, eGovernment, telecommuting and social networking opportunities. One study suggests that extended broadband deployment among seniors and people with disabilities could result in cumulative health care savings and productivity gains of at least $927 billion by 2030.

  • Mobile version of e-government website presented in Azerbaijan

    A data processing center of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies has presented a mobile version of the electronic government portal e-gov.az/mini, the center said on May 27.

    The mobile version is optimized specially for portable devices, which ensures convenient browsing and saves Internet traffic.

    The mobile page provides users with an opportunity to get familiarized with electronic services of state bodies, apply for digital electronic signatures, enquire about statistical data and other information.

  • Mobile web content in East Africa

    The success story of mobiles in the developing world is well known. Yet in the case of extending data services in emerging markets, there is a real danger of some serious policy mistakes. As in developed markets, broadband strategies in developing countries have tended to focus on investment in fibre. This is too simplistic. This focus on fibre may miss an opportunity for a transformational change built on the capabilities and in particular accessibility of mobile broadband. The early evidence suggests that mobile internet is spreading as quickly, in some developing countries, as mobile telephony did originally.

    Traditional definitions of broadband have a narrow focus on bandwidth and speed. This paper uses a wider definition, as broadband policy needs to consider the entire ‘eco-system’ of internet and data services from both a demand and supply-side perspective.

  • Mobile, social, cloud & Big Data: How these technologies can transform cities

    Addressing a press conference, Mr Cutajar said a green paper on m-government has been launched and is open for public consultation.

  • MT: Mobile Government – A milestone in the evolution of public services

    Government’s vision of allowing access to its services 24x7 would not have been complete without allowing such eServices to evolve and thus facilitating and allowing access to these services from anywhere

    Over the past 15 years MITA has worked towards facilitating the eGovernment programme. This work has served citizens and businesses alike, facilitating and allowing easy access to government services anytime – accessible online 24x7. Government’s vision of allowing access to its services 24x7 would not have been complete without allowing such eServices to evolve and thus facilitating and allowing access to these services from anywhere – thus introducing more mobility in services being rendered.
