Off-Grid Charging for Cell Phones-A $2.3 Billion Industry

In Treehugger:

According to EETimes, "Up to 500 million mobile users...in emerging countries could benefit from the provisioning of off-grid charging solutions such as solar phones or external solar chargers, according to a report from the GSMA. The results -- and the figure of a $2.3 billion opportunity -- are based on research for the Association's Green Power for Mobile (GPM) programme, which has identified a range of charging choices available that, if implemented effectively, will extend service availability and could boost average revenues per user by 10-14 percent."

Dears,
I noticed you posted a full copy my recent post “Leaked info: Railway to link 49 Ethiopian towns”, on your blog, with the title “The new Ethiopian railroad network to connect about 49 urban centers”.
I realie the need to share this positive news with your readers.
However, I think it would be appropriate and conventional if you had made a complete referrence to the source - that is, “Source:Danielberhane's Blog”.[with a link to my blog]
I believe you will be kind enough to make the correction.
Regards,
P.S. - I posted my comment here, since there is no contact info on the blog nor here on the ‘ínfo’ tab.
