Why are they limiting themselves to foreign countires?

I suspect that they, like many in the US, do not understand the true extent of poverty in the US. I'd say that fewer than 25% of the kids in the Little Rock School District have access to the web at home. Back when I was a education politician, I had long-range plans for the school district providing wide-area access for the entire city. Probably in cooperation with the city government to mitigate the costs. Of course, Comcast wouldn't have like it. I would then have pitched *hard* for somebody to provide low-cost computers to all the elementary school kids. Pipe dreams, now.
