Interesting article in Washington Post discussing the nonprofit One Laptop Project (laptops for $100 to countries where technology is not affordable/accessible).
The article stressing the obstacles to success that the Project is experiencing, especially the for-profit competitive market place.
Again I must challenge that if the purpose of the nonprofit is to address market failures, when the for-profit market is actually trying to make-up for failures, the need for the nonprofit is in question.
Maybe the One Laptop Project has succeeded and should raise the "Mission Accomplished" flag as we now have the for-profit market pursuing the goal of distributing accessible technology around the world.
