This video explains how Motorola is planning to expand its operations in Africa by using wind and solar powered cell phone base stations.

No need to walk over to the next village to get information about market prices or to check on family). ::Motorola plans to expand in Africa, via ::More Wind Powered Cell Phone Base Stations in Africa
