At the moment there are 7 countries who will introduce olpc in big numbers. Parallel there should be small pilot projects. The hardware is cheap it shouldn't be a problem to offer a small number of free hardware to all countries.
In every country, language, culture, climate, age, political system, ... are different pitfalls for this project. (Perhaps these are more of niches - special needs that find some equivalence in other places - that will need some customization of any or all of hardware, software and services. - Raffy, May 24, 2006)
