- According to the website LupaCiudadana it has registered more than 14,462,500 on elementary level and 6,093,800 on Secundary (Jr. High School), at a cost of 180 dls per laptop it will hold an estimate 3'700,134,000 USD. S.E.P. for this year it has around 321,750,782 USD.
- Acording to the legislative chamber it holds the current conference regarding Enciclomedia. The article cites:
Se presume que las autoridades educativas de la anterior administración no aseguraron las mejores condiciones disponibles para el Estado, en cuanto a costo y capacidad de distribución masiva del software, violándose el artículo 134 de la Constitución y el 17 y 27 de la Ley de Adquisiciones
--JZA 18:34, 18 November 2007 (EST)
- Parece, según un programa de TV que la Secretaría de Educación Pública (S.E.P.) va a celebrar una reunión en fecha próxima, para considerar el proyecto de la OLPC.
- Por otra parte, la S.E.P. ha cancelado diversos contratos relativos a la Enciclomedia, proyecto que la Administración del Presidente Fox le pasó al Presidente Calderón, lo cual puede liberar, junto con el presupuesto de la Comisión Nacional de Libros de Texto Gratuitos (que serían sustituidos por el proyecto de la OLPC), fondos suficientes para integrarse al proyecto de la OLPC.
