  • Vorwärts einparken

    Im Saarland und in Berlin kann man seinen Parkplatz per Handy-Anruf bezahlen – ohne Kleingeld und mit minutengenauer Abrechnung.

    Parken kostet Autofahrer Zeit, Nerven – und Geld. Erst sucht man eine freie Lücke, dann den Parkscheinautomaten und schließlich passende Münzen. In der Berliner Innenstadt beginnt heute das vom ADAC begleitete Projekt 'Handyparken', das zunächst 12 Monate laufen soll.

  • Web-based messaging tool adopted in Philippine City

    The City Government of Cagayan de Oro, the capital city of the province of Misamis Oriental in the Philippines, will start using InfoBoard, a web-based application that will allow the government to instantly communicate with its constituents.

    Government departments can send messages to the cell phones of constituents through InfoBoard. The tool was deployed in collaboration with Smart Communications, a mobile and internet service provider in the Philippines. The government can send 30,000 free messages per month to Smart Communications’ subscribers. Messages sent to other service providers will cost the government 70 centavos (US$0.02).

  • Why Asian governments are going mobile

    Asian administrations are setting the pace for mobile government applications globally.

    Governments in the region are beginning to see tangible productivity gains from their mobile government applications. On one hand short message service (SMS) alerts are creating cheaper, faster, more responsive communication channels, and then on the other, handheld computers are extending the value of fixed enterprise systems beyond the walls of the office and out into the field. In both scenarios increasingly mobile services and employees are bringing government closer to citizens.

  • Working towards mAfrica

    M-health is set to take a considerable slice of the US medical device and pharma markets. Europe is eyeing the market, too. But to determine the adaptability of the concept in local context, Africa could well provide a good example.

    M-health works in Africa for two reasons. The people, and the widely spread African diaspora across the world, are already adept at using mobile phones for social and financial transactions. Also, the technological concept gets to start from the best place you can possibly imagine: from the bottom up.

  • ZA: City of Johannesburg plans to send municipal bills by MMS

    Johannesburg residents can soon expect to receive their billing statements by MMS, which is more convenient than e-mail in ensuring that customers receive their municipal bills on time, says the city’s deputy director of customer communications, Stan Maphologela.

    Mr Maphologela said this week that e-services were an initiative of the city meant to provide online access to a range of services for individuals and businesses in the greater Johannesburg area. "Mail gets lost in the post office, or gets delivered to the wrong address and as a result the customer never receives his statement. There is also a lot of returned mail with wrong addresses," he said.

  • ZA: Mobile services useless if expensive: Agency

    Mobile services are meaningless if they are not affordable, the USAASA said on Wednesday.

    "To attain the goals of universal access and service to ICT, the country needs to ensure that prices should be affordable," Universal Services and Access Agency of SA spokesman Khulekani Ntshangase said.

    Most people in the country could not afford to make voice calls due to the high cost, he said.
