FWD's Global Communicator Project
Filed in archive Industry News by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on March 24, 2008

This sounds a bit like Nicholas Negoponte's vision of the "One Laptop Per Child," but instead, geared at opening and maintaining the lines of communication with a purpose-built device. It also sounds like it might encroach on the mobile phone manufacturers, who are continually working to decrease the cost of the mobile handset for deployment in developing nations. I don't think we're quite at the unsubsidized, sub-$25 mobile phone yet, but we're getting there.
Either way, it sounds like the FWD team is tackling a huge problem and I wish them the best of luck in implementing their vision.
