Well I think their problem is pretty real... If the OLPC's are to
actually end up in real rural areas where they are supposed to go. There
is no electricity. The kids will probably have to wind-up their OLPC's,
so if you want a mesh network that is always on, even if the notebook
is switched off, your options are probably limited. Even here in South
Africa there are lots of areas where people do not have power at their
homes or schools or other public buildings.
