Something odd out of Africa

There were fewer than two million mobile phones users in Africa in 1998. This number grew to more than 400 million by 2009, and the GSM Association predicts cellphone numbers will top 735 million by the end of 2012. And the unbanked are using them to make and receive payments.

How strange that the report doesn't mention foreign aid at all.

How could that be...?
