Une coalition relance le projet de smartphone à 40 dollars pour les marchés africains
Une coalition réunissant notamment la GSMA travaille sur un smartphone autour de 40 dollars pour élargir l’accès à Internet mobile. Six marchés africains sont concernés par des travaux pilotes et l’initiative vise à connecter jusqu’à 20 millions de personnes supplémentaires.
Le prix cible suppose une coordination entre fabricants, opérateurs et acteurs publics. Les négociations portent sur la conception, les volumes de production et les conditions qui permettraient de réduire les coûts sans sacrifier la qualité minimale de l’appareil.
Le projet n’est pas encore un téléphone commercialisé à ce prix. Le coût des composants, les taxes, la distribution et les forfaits de données restent des obstacles; l’abordabilité réelle dépend aussi du revenu des ménages et du coût de la connexion.
