“In less than twenty years,
mobile telephones have gone from being rare and expensive pieces of equipment
used by businesses to a pervasive low-cost personal item. In many affluent
countries, mobile phones now outnumber land-line telephones, with most adults
and many children now owning mobile phones. It is not uncommon for young adults
to own simply a cell phone instead of a land-line for their residence, even in
the U.S.
where mobile phone use is less prevalent than other industrialized countries.
Mobile phone penetration is increasing around the world; this is particularly
true of developing countries, where there is little existing fixed-line
infrastructure.
With high levels of mobile telephone penetration, a mobile phone culture
has evolved, where the mobile phone becomes a key social tool, and people rely
on their mobile phone address book to keep in touch with their friends. Many
people keep in touch using SMS,
and a whole culture of "texting" has developed from this.”
Only retained candidates will be contacted. Your CV
will be saved in our files for a period of 6 months. Thank you for your interest
in Gameloft.
