Abstract
Much of LIRNEasia’s research in this cycle is based on the idea that mobile phones will be the primary device through which the “bottom of the pyramid” (BOP) in emerging markets engages with the Internet, and tasks associated with the Internet such as information retrieval, payments and remote computing. In addition to this research and the CPRsouth programme, the project included capacity building among National regulatory agency (NRA)
national statistical organization (NSO) staff and non-governmental, non-private sector actors who can influence policy reform processes. The purpose of this project was advancement of evidence-based policy making and regulation through an integrated program of research, capacity building and advocacy. Detailed project Appendices are included.
