Hi Don--

[Moving this over to our Wireless Connectivity forum]

So glad you brought this up! Actually, Ben Rigby, who is behind this effort just hosted our recent online event on mobile activism. I attended his session on mobile volunteering at NTC and found it to be very worthwhile.

There's been some debate in the blogosphere about this, but I'd be curious to hear your take on it.

Best,

Megan
