This absolutely a huge opportunity for SL. Here in Nepal, private schools frequently ask how they can get laptops for their school and if we can put the E-Paath content on it. Additionally, private individuals always ask how they can get X # of XO's for a random school. Before I never knew what to tell them because it was and is very difficult to order XO's in small lots. But now i will direct them to devices like the EduBook. Also, devices assembled in-country have an instant political constituency to lobby for them, the manufacturers who want the contract to assemble. Assembling in-country also means u will more likely have trained people who can fix them later. -- Bryan W.
