No, many cannot afford $600 Caddilac-style phones to take 10 megapixel 
pictures and watch UTube videos.  Instead they buy $100 VWBug-style 
phones that let them get competitive prices for their crops and other 
goods instead of accepting low-ball bids from whoever wanders by their 
village.

Africans are ahead of at least the US in using phone minutes as a benign 
practical digital currency.  This, not destructive and useless bitcoins, 
are the real revolution.
