With the mesh network built in to the OLPC, a local network that worked without needing a central access point, farmers used the chat function to compare prices offered for their produce and found out that merchants offered different prices. This led to pressure on the merchants to pay better. The government was not amused. And mesh networking became a problem. Ultimately an inspiring story that was never told, IMHO.
