[Web4lib] AMD Hector Ruiz and the 50x15 initiative

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings:

 

Here is a great little flash video from TED with AMD's CEO - Hector Ruiz
discussing global

internet connectivity as a catalyst for  education world-wide:

AMD developed their 50x15 <http://www.50x15.com/>  project as a viable
business model to help meet educational 

demands for developing countries and have brought in innovative
<http://www.50x15.com/en-us/partners.aspx>  partners to create what

they call a Digital Inclusion Ecosystem.  Publicly accessible libraries help
to bridge the

digital divide providing web-based connectivity.  AMD's approach  is
certainly a great next step 

on a global scale.
