The Centre for HumanIT at Karlstad University organizes the 1st International Conference on Mobile Communication Technology for Development "M4D". The organizes welcome presentations within all “m” areas: m-government, m-health, m-banking, m-policy, etc. While the “m” in this context often implies low tech it is also noteworthy that wireless connections have promises for the development of broadband networks: there will be a special workshop on “Wireless Broadband Networks for developing regions”.

- 1st Workshop on Wireless Broadband Access for Communitie and Rural Developing Regions - WIRELESS4D'08
