"He said, he would build 100 million to 200 million HDLs every year--and distribute them to the children of the poor world......Once turned on, HDLs will automatically connect to one another using a "mesh network" initially developed at MIT and the Media Lab. In the mesh network each laptop serves as an information-relaying node. Households that have HDLs will be able to communicate with each other by e-mail or voice calls. Most importantly, Negroponte wants every mesh network to have access to the Internet. The laptops will be loaded with Skype."
