Other countries aren't buying up the units necessary to drop the marginal cost to $100 so he's passing the un-savings on to you and Wes. Everyone seems pretty happy about it, though. One man's treasure etc. The give one, get one ploy has received a lot of press outside of the edubloc, mostly negative. Many are taking this as evidence that Negroponte overreached himself.
