Intel has just said it will not continue to participate in the One Laptop Per Child project (OLPC - every child with a laptop) and withdraws from project management.
OLPC is a non-profit project run by MIT professors Nicholas Negroponte, to produce laptops for only $ 100 for poor children around the world. But starting in October, each computer in this project was sold for $ 200 to get the cost of continuing the project.
OLPC's board of directors " asked Intel to stop supporting non-OLPC programs like making Classmate PCs and other machines," said spokeswoman Chuck Mulloy. "They want us to focus our efforts on OLPC computers ." And Intel decided to end after 6 months of debate.
There are no representatives of OLPC yet.
Intel last year launched Classmate, a laptop for emerging markets. Chances are they will have another project this year.
" We always think there will be a lot of solutions. The most important thing is to serve user needs, " Intel spokesman said.
