<div>We need to scale up on pilots as well.. Prices are cost based and OLPC does not charge a margin. However, smaller shipments have a higher per unit overhead and that reflects in the price differential per lot size. What is teh size of yoru pilot? May I request some more information? May I call you? </div>

<div>As regards the following, I am taking it up with the folks who are leading the respective areas.</div><br>
