		<description><![CDATA[The internet and personal computers have had a significant impact on the developing world. The advent of cell phones provided a cheap technology platform that has penetrated the farthest reaches of the world. No place better exemplifies this than India, with over 8.5 million additional subscribers in 2007, making it the country with the second largest wireless subscriber base. The cheap and pervasive technology platform has spawned a number of innovative solutions to address the social challenges at bottom of the pyramid, such as access to finance, illiteracy, and health care. This track will highlight some of these innovative solutions that have a significant potential for impact in the developing world.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.ambientengines.com&blog=3998279&post=238&subd=socialecosystem&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
