<raphael> +1

<scribe> ACTION: steph to rename the acknowledgement section to contributors [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/10/05-MW4D-minutes.html#action03]

integrating health section

<raphael> I don't think it makes a lot of sense, for the points you made and were made in previous sessions

renjish: discussed one year ago, should not integrate this section in this last phase

no spcific section to fit

Resolution: no integration in this version of the document of a section on health

mentionning a R&D direction to integrate better SMS and the Web

(suggested by renjish)

<Renjish> SMS forum was working on the encoding aspect http://www.smsforum.net/

arun: might not be the future

that's why perhaps there is no investment

arun: is it worthwile to do it now ?

raphael: in lots countries, underusage of data service

gprs cheaper than sms

<ArunKumar> I agree with Raphael ... data and GPRS would soon overtake SMS in the text domain

<ArunKumar> So, it is not a question of voice vs SMS but is SMS the right mode for text modality

<raphael> yes indeed

<raphael> maybe also some level of icons

<raphael> +1

<ArunKumar> Yes mentioning the concern is fine

comments from K. Verclas around SMS centered roadmap

<Renjish> agreed and that's why it's not the technology itself but other factors that drive technology choice...

<raphael> For the record, I say that we should mention that data applications are under used and under created, consireing the comparative advantage, cost-wise (GPRS<<SMS)

<raphael> ok with your ccl, Steph

<Renjish> something's missing.. else the market forces would have tilted in favour of GPRS?

<raphael> "market forces" are also telecom op driven

<Renjish> so monopolistic...

<raphael> ohh yes

<raphael> on the good side, it allowed the telco explosion in dev. ctries

<Renjish> It's fine with me

<ArunKumar> 26th is fine with me

<Renjish> Raphael, can we then say that ignorance is the issue?

<raphael> thanks
