W3C Workshop on the Role of Mobile Technologies in Fostering Social Development

Dear All,
This is a message to announce a new workshop W3C is organizing on the 
Role of Mobile Technologies in Fostering Social Development.
We are currently in the process of launching a new Interest group on the 
topic of using mobile phones and web technologies in socio-economic 
development projects in Developing Countries.
This workshop will serve as input to this future group, which will aim 
at identifying the key challenges of mobile web access in Developing 
Countries and the most promising way to resolve them.
It is also a follow-up of a first similar event we organized in December 
2006 in Bangalore (W3C workshop on the Mobile Web in developing 
Countries-http://www.w3.org/2006/07/MWI-EC/cfp.html)
