Microsoft would put poor online by cellphone

I am not sure whether this is all about politics, or actual practical facts, but Microsoft belives that cellphones can be cheaper alternatives to bridge the digital divide. By using specially configurable cellphones that can connect to a television screen and an external keyboard, this really might be the killer, instead of Negroponte's hand-cranked laptop. I personally agree with this view as well because cellphones are portable and usable for many other things, the most important being communication. We have already seen how communication can revolutionize information access and accelerate economic growth. Plus, the cellphone market is likely to be entrepreneur or consumer driven (which typically springs faster and better innovation), rather than the one-laptop-per-child project which has to be government supported.
