A little more to chew on: Dust Storms, (Real) Bugs, Intermittent Electricity or No Phone Lines? Intel Says 'No Problem'.

Interesting points from article:
1. "Intel Corporation today showcased a rugged PC designed for developing countries that can better handle harsh climates, intermittent electricity, dust and bugs while accessing the Internet without wires"

2. "The demonstration PC also linked to the Internet via a WiMAX wireless network. WiMAX, short for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a standards-based wireless broadband technology that can provide high-speed Internet connections to homes, communities, businesses and mobile wireless networks across many miles, making it an ideal way to unwire entire communities and cities"

3. "Intel neither confirmed if or when the concept platform might be developed by local PC makers in India or elsewhere, nor provided any other details"
