Not selling the OLPC globally, or offering the give-one-get-one deal again either, is a mistake. Doing those things could not only provide funding for the OLPC goal of getting them into the hands of children in developing nations, it would do something even more important: help the OLPC reach critical mass. Without the critical mass that would come from worldwide availability of OLPC, it will be far easier for Intel and Microsoft to crush it, something they are working hard to do. As someone mentioned in Groklaw, monopolies never say "enough." They are willing to crush even a charity to make a buck.
