Over the last week, countless emails entered our inboxes, introducing many of the 350 participants who will gather tomorrow for the first day of the Mobile Active '08 conference. The variety of ideas and the range of fields of expertise is incredible, if not overwhelming for a small start up non-profit. Over the last six months, we have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to turn an idea into a reality, constantly reevaluating and shifting directions based on the constant change in technological advances. Throughout the process, one idea remained -- create sustainable access to communications for the global poor. Over the next three days we will meet with the world's experts in software, hardware, and cellular networks with the hopes of increasing our knowledge on how to make that idea more attainable. We are extremely excited to learn about the current advances in the ICT world as well as those ideas still in their experimental phases.
