I've discussed her work in my conference paper titled "A Modern Fetish: The Value of the Mobile Phone in South Korean Youth Culture".

A few years ago, Sadie Plant, an ethnographer hired by Motorolla, came to similar conclusions in her report on mobile telephony called, 'On the Mobile'. This report is also free and online, but not as heavily advertised. It also spread outward to situated knowledge groups that were not as networked. By networked, I mean that the Six Tribes of Homo Digitalis is a piece of social currency for social networkers, while Sadie's report was probably traded in slower, more concentrated way to more specific knowledge groups.
