An overview on diffusion, policy, use and impact of mobiles phones in  
international development has recently been published:

Based on a series of research summaries plus an overview editorial, it  
draws on findings from recent work in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

A workspace for researchers and practitioners with interests in  
"m-development" has been created at:
