Iqbal Quadir is co-founder of GrameenPhone, an innovative wireless company offering services to poor rural villages in Bangladesh. In this talk, he explains the triple impact of bringing cel phone service to rural areas (connecting the village to the world, creating business opportunities, and generating over time a culture of entrepreneurship.)
