"Handsets on handlebars are bringing pedal-powered mobile call shops to rural Nicaragua. By souping up an old pedal-powered ice cream cart with a car battery, an alternator, a fixed cellular unit and three pay phones, mobile communications can travel outside the Nicaraguan cities via cellular cycle. Llamadas Pedaleadas is pitching its carts to “entrepreneurs in Nicaragua” as big moneymakers, capable of “doubl[ing] the average salary.”"
