Dear Mr. Jha, You said :: In the case of $100 laptop the poor do not have to realy pay for it. Someone else is planninbg it for them, someone else is organising it and its coming out of funds that have been generated for the project ...
PRAY can you tell me where the funding would be coming from? MIT, Nicholas Negroponte, OR tax-payers the world over? (of course donations) I find it very difficult to accept when anyone talks about funding in this careless tone. If money is readily available, when then Negroponte has to use UN secreatry to help PUSH his product? He should have funding to give away his 100$ lap-tops, I would assume? WHAT we GIVE to Peter, John would END up receiving less ... There are only SO MUCH money to go around. IF funding is so readily available, when then do we still have problems feeding the starving in Niger, in Darfur, the earthquakes victimes in Pakistan ...?
