Introduction

There are about 12,000,000 students in Korea, from kindergartens to graduate schools. Even one tenth of those students have XOs or Larger XOs on their hands, then there will be aobut 1,200,000 mesh relays in Korea, 100 times more than those established by a traditional communication firm for its mobile phone service.

By distributing or selling mesh phones, a wifi phone with the same marvell chip as OLPC XO, we can extend the mesh coverage of XO laptops and provide additonal VoIP services to students and citizens.

Model

It will be similar to a skype phone of Belkin, but;

  • open source
  • much lower price

Schedule

XO Korea hopes to distribute those mesh phones one years later of XO deployment in Korea.
