An observation and thoughts
Observation: since I was last in Belize, cell phone carriers have begun directly depositing pre-paid phone credit via electronic means versus selling phone cards. There are even promotions to encourage this exchange (10% extra credit if you do it this way). This seems like they’re priming to get people more and more used to their phone as a device for trading money, for mobile banking.
I want to perhaps get in touch with Galen University, a private university here in Belize, to see if anyone has particular interest in sustainable development, technology, and Belize/the Caribbean.
