Hi,
your question was actually addressed at the panel session and we proposed some solutions for this. People tend to believe Waze will use too much data - that tends to be one reason for the poor take up. Waze is also unknown to many people. You need a critical mass to make it work and you can get that by talking more about it in the media.
Regards,
Gopal

Last year [1], I mentioned that it could be that people are not used to contributing information. Is there a cultural issue? A quick comparison between Mauritius and Reunion Island might point to that.
