Three Companies to Watch

Here are three companies to watch. Companies that may change the way you compute and interact with the digital world. Two are in the Boston area and one is a bit further away. Two. This company is also headed by a woman and doesn't yet have a name but is worth watching. Mary Lou Jepsen, the Chief Technology Officer of the MIT spawned One Laptop Per Child program and the developer of the laptop's innovative screen display technology has left the organization to take her screen savvy to the commercial marketplace. Low power, high visibility and low cost are the hallmarks of the OLPC computer. Stay tuned.

Three. Russia. Okay, Russia is not a company. But in one of the more overlooked stories, Russia has now nearly completed orbiting a GPS satellite system which compares, competes and offers a non-U.S. alternative to the current GPS networks. With lots of oil money, lots of technology talent and lots of government incentive to be a world tech leader, Russia is now intent on being a leader in the deployment of IPV6, Internet 2 deployment. The U.S. better get serious about funding Internet 2 or it will be left one generation behind.
