<P><FONT size=2>Hi<BR><BR>I have a contact through MTN who may be able
to help with the wireless certification but I have a few
questions:</FONT></P><FONT size=2>
<UL>
<LI>Why do we need wireless certification if the XO's are not going to be
directly connecting to a 3G network?
<LI>In the message from Jeff there is a calculation for 100 XO's. Why x 400?
<LI>Which Rotary club is looking to sponsor a deployment? In what area?
<LI>Any news on the setting up up of a formal OLPC structure is SA
yet?</LI></UL>

Thanks for the info, Morgan.<BR>><BR>> Does that mean it's available for
