Network World Fusion 05/19/03

First came smart mobs is a theory (and a book) that mobile phones are revolutionizing the way people participate in society.

Now comes the smart Mob.

The BBC reports the Italian Mafia wants to use 3G video phones to help rig upcoming regional elections: Voters who want to get paid or voting for Mob-backed candidates (or avoid getting beaten for not doing so) have to take a picture of their ballot with a cam-equipped phone.

The BBC says Italian officials plan to ban wireless phones from polling stations.
