The VIA pc-1 Initiative is a project of VIA Technologies, established in January 2005, to help bridge the digital divide by developing information and communication technology (ICT) systems to benefit those who currently do not have computers or Internet access. ==Aims== The initiative sought to enable the next billion computer users with three goals: * Expand individual personal computer (PC) ownership via creating affordable, reliable, and energy efficient systems, with smaller sizes that can fit into the dense living environments often found in households. * Increase PC and Internet access opportunities for those who cannot afford to buy PCs, via community access deployments in schools, offices, libraries, Internet cafes, village kiosks, and telecenters. * Enable PC and Internet access in remote regions via developing specialized power, heat, and dust (PHD) systems designed for extreme environmental conditions. In January 2006 a development center was opened in Mumbai.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VIA pc-1 Initiative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
