Smart Padyak: Wifi on Wheels

Inq7.net reports that Smart Communications has been using pedicabs to bring wireless broadband to areas in the Philippines that still has no internet:

In lieu of passengers, the sidecars of specially equipped pedicabs instead carry a desktop computer and a wireless antenna that connects to the cellular network of telecom firm Smart Communications.

Smart runs a fixed wireless Internet service, called Smart Bro, on it cellular network.

The computers, however, must still be connected to regular power outlet to function, Ramon Isberto, Smart public affairs head, said.

He said that the experiment, called “Smart Padyak” (Smart Pedaling) is underway in Cebu and some parts of Metro Manila.

m-Commerce need not be hi-tech

Grabbed a Car Finder magazine during a late lunch this afternoon.

While skimming through the pages, the magazine was advertising that people wanting to advertise their cars may be able to send in their photos using MMS and remitting payments thru G-Cash or Smart Money. There, I realized that is already m-commerce — no bells and whistles but the whole transaction was done using the mobile phone.

That person may not have as much access to the internet nor have a typical digital camera or maybe a scanner but with the mobile phone, business was done quickly and even more efficiently. It basically shortens the process if you compare it the conventional way and on top of that, no credit card was used.

We should have more of that.
