dc.description.abstractTwo highly successful “first mile, first inch” (FMFI) initiatives have been spearheaded by the Mozambique Information and Communication Technology Institute (2007): the Catholic University of Mozambique (UCM), and Emilia Duasse Secondary School in Inhambane, Southern Mozambique. “First Inch” refers to applications and access devices (computers, handheld Personal Digital Assistants and cellular devices); “First Mile” refers to links between access devices and the local access providers in connectivity technologies. An overriding challenge facing all FMFI projects is the need to influence legislators to amend and or introduce regulations that permit innovative, low-cost solutions.en
