From Barcelona: the "People's Phone" by spice Ltd.
We have talked a lot about Apple's iPhone, who has revolutionized the industry since its introduction in the USA last year. Now comes the "People's Phone", introduced at Barcelona this year, which sits at the opposite end of the spectrum in price and features (see story by the International Herald Tribune).
Spice, an Indian based company, has introduced the greatest innovation since the iPhone: a handset priced at less than $20.
The so called digital divide seems to disappear with this innovation. This type of handset should appeal to operators that are reaching to lower income segments as mobile penetration continues to grow and the markets become saturated, or in countries where regulations require operators to provide service to these segments.
