Did you read this link:
"OLPC's Goal: A $30 Billion Dollar Company!"
http://www.olpcnews.com/sales_talk/price/olpc_30_billion_company.html
"OLPC estimates that there are 1 billion 6-16 year olds in the developing
world. If it were to equip every 6 year old, each year, OLPC would need 100
million Children's Machines (10% of 1 billion) and to replace each OLPC XO
at 11 years old would add another 100 million.
200 million laptops would cost $20 Billion dollars, give or take a few
hundred million dollars. Add in $10 Billion for infrastructure and OLPC
estimates it would need around $30 Billion per to achieve its goal.
$30 Billion in income each year. $30 Billion Dollars!!"
