AMD to connect developing populations to the net

October 29, 2004 Chip developer AMD is developing a low-price PC for 'emerging markets' with the aim to connect 50% of the world's population to the internet by 2015. Despite the massive changes rolling out in the digital world, most statistics put the current online population at only 10% of the world population. The Personal Internet Communicator (PIC) will cost approximately US $185 for just the computer, and $249 for both the computer and a 15-inch monitor and is targeted at consumers in developing countries.
