About 6 months ago, Fasmicro acquired SMSplaces.com. We wanted to move into the domain of mobility. What have we done with it? We are building three great technologies on it which will be available to Nigerians in the next few weeks. Watch out and visit smsplaces.com. That site will be revamped. We have tools for farmers via SMS. We have the one for the travelers and more.
