Hmmmm ... Negroponte sees 200m uber-cheap laptops for developing countries. Given a bit of cheap connectivity, I see 200m VoIP terminals. Sitty-talkies instead of walkie-talkies.
Hint to Negroponte: some commercial providers might pay to get, um, an icon on that desktop.
Good luck to him! The more smart nodes at the network edge, the better.
