But what will they do?

Today's eSchool News brought two interesting items to my attention today.

First, Low-cost school computing set to take off talks all about nComputing which is selling computers to Macedonia to enable 1-to-1computing. There are already 770 of these installed at one school.

California-based NComputing announces it will provide multi-user virtual desktop software and inexpensive computer terminals to 400,000 students in the Republic of Macedonia by the end of 2008. The move, the company says, is a step towards its goal to see every person and organization that wants 1-to-1 access to a PC be able to afford it.

The second article, Push for ‘net neutrality' stalls, outlines the Sept. 6th decision of the US Justice Department (DOJ) that internet service providers should be allowed to charge a fee for priority web traffic.

DOJ said imposing a net neutrality regulation could hamper development of the internet and prevent service providers from upgrading or expanding their networks. It also could shift the "entire burden of implementing costly network expansions and improvements onto consumers," the agency said in its Sept. 6 filing with the FCC.

Doesn't seem like we're all rowing in the same direction!
