Dear Colleagues Mobile Government Consortium International is organising the Third European Conference (EURO mGOV 2008) for September 2008. As the public sector is an essential part of mobile government applications and services, the key feature of the EURO mGOV 2008 is the mGovernment summit. This summit aims to share, disseminate and promote experiences of mobile government initiatives and, also, to establish strong links among various mGov projects in the world.
