Free public access computers for children could soon be coming to the Pacific.
India's Hole In The Wall company is expecting final approval from the Ministry of External affairs early next year.
That will see free computer 'learning stations' installed in Fiji, PNG, Nauru, Kiribati and Vanuatu.
The project began as an experiment a decade ago ... placing a single computer in the wall of a New Delhi slum, then waiting to see what happened.
Children flocked to the new device and Hole in the Wall grew into an education company that has since sold its idea not only across India, but into Africa, Southeast Asia and soon the Pacific.
Bill Bainbridge visited one of the original sites to see how the computers could bridge the information divide.
Presenter: Bill Bainbridge
Speaker: Dr Ritu Dangwal, Head of Reasearch, Hole In The Wall
