O2 LOCAL EMPOWERMENT 04 This company addresses the lack of energy availability in certain parts of some developing nations, which ironically are within reach of service but unable to use it for lack of a power source. Intelligent Energy thus addresses two essential elements of connectivity: network availability and power. Intelligent Energy develops portable fuel cell systems that can remotely power phones without access to “the grid,” thus overcoming another large barrier in developing countries that are struggling with energy more than with connectivity provisioning. 67
