Google is a powerful company. I've talked to a lot of people and they think Google can surpass Microsoft. I wish I had invested in Google around IPO time, I could have made a killing. The idea of closing the digital divide is a genius plan. I wish I had the money and resources to engage in such a idea. But here is the question that bugs me. With all the wealth and power Google has, why would they worry about the best interests of third world nations? Whats in it for Google.

A more profound question is, would Goolge weaken themselves by empowering other people or not? Most Multinational corporations exploit people in third world countries, not empower them. it seems Google wants just the opposite.
