Connected Computing

We believe that computing may be very important to emerging markets, but connectivity is the key to helping these regions build their productivity. It’s not just the digital divide – now it’s the connectivity divide. The broad, worldwide footprint of 3G wireless networks makes wireless an obvious answer to Internet access in much of the world.
With the Kayak PC alternative, we have developed a blueprint for assembling a low-cost computing device with wireless access. The objective is to leverage the widespread availability of 3G wireless broadband to bring affordable Internet connectivity to emerging markets, where wired Internet access has often been difficult to access or is unaffordable to many people.
