- Research Approaches to Mobile Use in the Developing World: A Review of the Literature (2008, methodology): “Hamilton (2003) uses national-level penetration and environmental variables from 23 African nations to observe both substitution and complementary effects (depending on income level), and to argue that competition from mobile service actually improves landline availability.”
- Determinants of a Digital Divide in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Spatial Econometric Analysis of Cell Phone Coverage (2008, background): “Others have investigated the complementarity between cell phone diffusion and the presence of other communications technologies (Hamilton, 2003; Wauschkuhn, 2001).”
- The Rules of Beeping: Exchanging Messages Via Intentional "Missed Calls" on Mobile Phones (2007, background): “…is more common than ever; much of the growth in the mobile phone market in recent years has come in developing countries, where users, many on quite modest incomes, are buying mobiles as their first telephone, rather than as a complement to landlines at home and/or at work (Hamilton, 2003).”
- Can the ubiquitous power of mobile phones be used to improve health outcomes in developing countries? (2006, unknown): “An additional consideration is their attempt to manage their way through a changing regulatory environment, especially with stateowned telecom networks [52,65,66].”
- A review of evidence on mobile use by micro and small enterprises in developing countries (2010, background): “In the developing world many mobiles are purchased as substitutes for landlines, rather than complements to them (Hamilton, 2003).”
