Cell Phone Makers Hope To Connect In Poor Nations (Investor's Business Daily). Investor's Business Daily - Cell phones with cameras and Internet access are nice, but they're out of reach if you live on $2 a day or less.

"An estimated 3 billion people live within cell coverage areas but have no phone or phone service. A phone that costs $30 or less could mean an additional 700 million customers, says the GSM Association trade group. The cheapest prices today are $60. "

700 million customers! That's enough to warrant the attention of all the big players. An the battle is on between GSM and CDMA (again).
