The personal Internet communicator (PIC) is an affordable consumer
device designed to provide managed Internet access for people in global, high-growth markets to enhance communications, entertainment, and education opportunities. The PIC is not a

dial-up or
broadband infrastructure that can deliver basic
Internet functions such as
e-mail,
