Cell
phone penetration
In every country, the proportion of citizens owning
a cell phone is higher than that with Internet access.

Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) is the
most widely used digital wireless with close to 1 billion
subscribers (75 % of the world's digital wireless market).
GPRS (Global Packet Radio Services) builds upon the
GSM platform and has the following features:
-
seamless roaming,
so users have access to their data services when travelling.
-
Average data rates of 30-40 kbps
-
Users can maintain a
data session while answering a phone call,
-
"always-on" data connection
so that customers don't have to log on each time they
want data access,
-
the packet architecture means you pay
for the data volume rather than for the airtime used
to establish
a connection and transfer data. This is important
for Cyberfab as our efficient compression technology
brings
us a strategic advantage as our transmission costs
are lower than the competition’s.
