UOC – Managing the cost of mobile communication in Ghana – Michele Frix

“http://www.UOC.edu – Michele Frix – Managing the cost of mobile communication in Ghana

Information and Communication Technologies are spreading very rapidly at varying rates according to each specific technology. Globally, nearly one in four people are connected to the Internet. In the case of mobile telephony, incidence is higher, with two mobile phone lines for every three people.

Penetration, however, is not the same throughout the world. Although penetration in developing countries is lower, the impact of mobile telephony is being felt already and is gradually reaching wide segments of the population in both urban and rural areas. The new possibilities that are opening up in this new scenario need to be analysed carefully, assessing the advantages as well as the risks involved. Thus, along with capacities for communications and interconnections, it is also possible to find new interdependencies, both real and symbolic. It is not surprising that the arrival of ICT is more pronounced in many countries that have experienced high levels of emigration.

An analysis of this phenomenon can be carried out from different perspectives: sociological, anthropological, communication sciences, economics, etc. Each one would contribute a different perspective and emphasise specific research questions that, while each study’s central issue would be the same, they could be coordinated and integrated into a common perspective.

The objective of the conference is to promote debate about the influence that the spread of ITC, (specifically mobile phones and the Internet) may have on the social and economic development of Latin America and Africa and, in particular, amongst the most vulnerable segments of the population. The conference aims to review the status of this topic within a subject that needs further, in-depth, exploration. It also aims to stimulate debate about the key topics related to this new direction that a great many countries are just starting to follow.

The event seeks to embark on a joint reflection involving actors from developing countries and regions in Latin America and Africa in order to study what and how much is known about the real effects that communications technologies (especially mobile phones and the Internet) are having on the economic and social development of their populations. The participation of prestigious researchers representing different perspectives, disciplines and regions will provide a wide frame of reference for the current status of the issue.

Inventors Given Hope on Patents for Business Methods

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com

/voalearningenglishRecently, the United States Supreme Court decided a case on the property rights of inventors. The question was whether a business method is enough of an invention to receive a patent. Patents are a form of intellectual property. They give legal protections to individuals and companies against the copying of their inventions. Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw wanted to patent a method to let traders protect against the risk of price changes in energy markets. The United States Patent and Trademark Office said no. So the inventors went to court. Again they were told no. Finally, the case went all the way to the Supreme Court. In June, all nine justices said no. But they only said no to a patent in this case. Patent lawyer Meredith Martin Addy in Chicago explains that the court ruled narrowly.She said: “The Supreme Court held that there is no categorical rule denying patent protection for business method patents.”When patent laws were first developed, most patents were for machines. But since the late nineteen nineties, inventors of business methods and processes have increasingly sought patent protection. Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw brought a lawsuit against the Patent and Trademark Office. Technology companies, especially software makers, watched the case closely. They were concerned that the Supreme Court would require a test of some kind that could limit what can be patented.In its ruling, the court decided against the patent only because the idea was too abstract. Law professor Michael Meurer of Boston University gives a famous example from physics. It involves the relationship of energy, mass and the speed of light, written as the letter c. He said: “The Supreme Court has said, for example, if Albert Einstein determined that E = mc squared — which he did — he never would have been able to get a patent on that. That’s too abstract.” In the Bilski case, the court said patent examiners could consider what is known as the machine-or-transformation test. This is the idea that a patent should be given to a machine or something that creates a material change, like a chemical process. But a majority of justices said patent examiners must also protect innovation. Patent lawyer Meredith Martin Addy says no one wants to suppress creativity. Now, more cases will be needed to define the legal limits of business method patents. Such patents already exist. In March, for example, after re-examination, Amazon.com received a patent for its one-click ordering process. And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.
