OLPC a Hit in Rwanda, Especially at the Airport

Apparently, Rwanda’s Kigali International airport is the place to be for wireless Internet. That’s where reporter Anna Koblank discovered a group of students, One Laptop Per Child XOs in hand, surfing the ‘net like pros. Sitting the parking lot, which is close enough to scoop up that sweet free connection, the kids were using Google to find pictures of their idols, Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Roughly 5,000 XOs have been handed out in Rwanda so far, and the government wants to distribute 50,000 of them this year. Perhaps this is the boost Van Damme needs to get his career back on track.
