Thanks for the link - I see a lot of Philippine government SMS
initiatives are listed. A lot of government data is available as an
SMS request. In this country, SMS penetration is much higher than
traditional Internet, so e-Government has had to adapt to the
environment.
There is a downside to this though (from the consumer's point of view)
- while Internet online queries (web and e-mail) are free, SMS
requests are billed by the operators.... maybe this is why it became
popular, providing a service has become a data revenue stream. :-)
