GSMA Published European Mobile Manifesto
The GSMA, the body that represents the worldwide mobile communications industry, today unveiled a European Mobile Manifesto which sets out how the mobile industry will help achieve key European Union objectives to boost economic performance, improve efficiencies, protect consumers and increase the use of green technology. To do this, the mobile industry has undertaken to work more closely with governments, education and health authorities and technology manufacturers. The mobile industry is also calling upon the EU to provide a number of measures to support the initiative.
Through the Mobile Manifesto, the mobile industry outlines its goals to:
Increase internet connectivity and drive productivity through widespread mobile broadband access – on the move and at home, in cities and in rural areas
Engage consumers and improve efficiency by enabling the “mobilisation” of commercial and public services particularly eCommerce, eLearning, eHealth and eGovernment
Build a greener mobile planet by reducing Europe’s carbon footprint through M2M technologies
Empower users and maintain consumer trust by providing mobile privacy tools
