“According to a recent study by Ernst and Young, Africa is the world's fastest growing mobile phone market, having expanded by 49% since 2002. People throughout the region can participate in this momentous event and have a global voice using their cell phone on the spot,” said Pieter de Villiers, Clickatell CEO. “Clickatell was the first to marry the Internet with global SMS delivery - making it now possible to rapidly deploy global mobile messaging services like the Obama speech via SMS.”
