Two disabled Kenyans have transformed their wheelchairs into mobile
payphone platforms

in Accra, public phone operators can lease an i-Tel "POP" station (a
phone booth mounted on a tricycle)
from Spacefon, and pedal to high-traffic spots where business can be
found.

On a small boat that ferries people along the Uganda shore of Lake
Victoria, passengers can use a
solar-powered wireless phone booth.

In Rajasthan, Shyam Telecom has mounted mobile phones on a fleet of
200 rickshaws, whose drivers are
"largely drawn from those at the margins of society - the disabled and
women."

DO WE HAVE SOME MFI's TO IMPLEMENT THESE IDEAS AT MASS LEVELS.
