The mobile phone is rapidly becoming media, both as a primary source for content and as a platform for delivery of content. With rapid changes in what a mobile phone can actually do, millions of people are using it to access the internet and to upload and distribute content.
In many developing countries, a mobile phone is the technology device most likely to be owned by people after a radio but, unlike the latter, most people will carry the mobile phone with them almost everywhere.
