We would like to create an initiative… and a couple of years ago at AMD we came up with this idea – what if we create this initiative we called “50 by 15″ – where we are going to aim by the year 2015 that half the world will be connected to the internet so that people and ideas can get connected.
We knew we couldn’t do it by ourselves and by no means did we intend to imply that we at AMD could do it alone. We always felt this could be done through partnerships with government industry education institutions – a myriad of other organisations and frankly even competitors. So its really a rather lofty initiative if you want to think that way but we felt we had to put a real stake out ahead that was bold enough and courageous enough that would force us all to think of ways to do things differently.
