[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 84, Issue 42

[Tony Anderson]

As the story points out, these are problems that were and are well 
known. One of the largest problems in Rwanda is that only 250 schools 
were found in the initial deployment that had electricity. This is a 
problem that has hampered deployment of the laptops from the beginning. 
The focus of the OLPC organization has been primarily on acquiring the 
laptops and getting them distributed (the numbers show the magnitude of 
this problem).

The primary root result is that the laptops are not used to the extent 
they should be. As you can see from the story, the capabilities of the 
laptops are not an issue.
