Being connected anytime and anywhere with access to any requested content from any device is a current societal challenge known as ATAWADAC (AnyTime AnyWhere AnyDevice AnyContent). This paper raises the issue of the synergetic potential that mobile access offers to ATAWADAC services and its integration with Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) in a growing environment realized through mobile applications worldwide and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in particular. The DRC has a 3G mobile network reaching only 0,8% of the population, the equivalence of 0,56 million inhabitants with no mobile computing. M-learning (Mobile Learning) can only exist when mobile computing networks and PKM platforms are implemented. From research conducted through literature reviews and published electronic data, as well as based on a mathematical and graphical demonstration; we were able to provide some answers to these issues and present in this paper key findings on mobile data usage, mobile network coverage and mobile Internet in the DRC. This was achieved by using two methods. The first method investigated the prerequisites for the existence of ATAWADAC services which cover i) ubiquitous computing ii) mobile computing iii) portable computing, iv) ambient intelligence and v) mobility. The second method consisted of demonstrating through graphical interpretations and calculations how to integrate the following four concepts: i) the mobile computing equation ii) the value of 3G mobile network in DRC iii) the PKM chain and iv) the three layering models defining the relation between the ATAWADAC, KPM, and mobile applications as a concrete result of our analyses and findings on M-Learning. Besides the description of these methods, this paper presents an interpretation of the results found and proposes avenues for future research.

Abstract
Being connected anytime and anywhere with access to any requested content from any device is a current societal challenge known as ATAWADAC (AnyTime AnyWhere AnyDevice AnyContent). This paper raises the issue of the synergetic potential that mobile access offers to ATAWADAC services and its integration with Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) in a growing environment realized through mobile applications worldwide and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in particular. The DRC has a 3G mobile network reaching only 0,8% of the population, the equivalence of 0,56 million inhabitants with no mobile computing. M-learning (Mobile Learning) can only exist when mobile computing networks and PKM platforms are implemented.

Abstract: (french)
Être connecté n'importe quand et n'importe où avec l'accès à tout contenu demandé à partir de n'importe quel appareil est un défi sociétal actuel connu : l’ATAWADAC (AnyTime AnyWhere AnyDevice AnyContent). Cet article soulève la question du potentiel synergique que l'accès mobile offre aux services ATAWADAC et son intégration avec la gestion des connaissances personnelles (PKM) dans un environnement en pleine croissance réalisé à travers des applications mobiles dans le monde entier et en République démocratique du Congo en particulier. La RDC dispose d'un réseau mobile 3G n'atteignant que 0,8% de la population, l'équivalent de 0,56 million d'habitants sans informatique mobile. M-learning (Mobile Learning) ne peut exister que lorsque des réseaux informatiques mobiles et des plates-formes PKM sont implémentés. De la recherche effectuée à travers des revues de littérature et des données électroniques publiées, ainsi que sur la base d'une démonstration mathématique et graphique; nous avons pu apporter quelques réponses à la question et présenter dans cet article des conclusions clés sur l'utilisation des données mobiles, la couverture des réseaux mobiles et l'Internet mobile en RDC. Ceci a été réalisé en utilisant deux méthodes. La première méthode a étudié les conditions préalables à l'existence de services ATAWADAC qui couvrent: i) l'informatique ubiquitaire; ii) l'informatique mobile; iii) l'informatique portable; iv) l'intelligence ambiante; et v) la mobilité. La deuxième méthode consistait à démontrer par des interprétations graphiques et des calculs comment intégrer les quatre concepts suivants: i) l'équation de calcul mobile ii) la valeur du réseau mobile 3G en RDC iii) la chaîne PKM et iv) les trois modèles de couches définissant la relation Entre l'ATAWADAC, le KPM et les applications mobiles en tant que résultat concret de nos analyses et conclusions sur M-Learning. Outre la description de ces méthodes, cet article présente une interprétation des résultats trouvés et propose des pistes de recherche futures.
