The founder of the One Laptop Per Child project claimed Friday that Intel Corp. undermined his group's effort to sell $188 computers for schoolchildren in the developing world even after the chip company got a seat on the nonprofit's board.
Negroponte said Intel even tried to undo a deal One Laptop had already sealed in Peru by citing flaws in the One Laptop "XO" machine and telling government ministers "we ought to know, because we are on the board."
Such hostile comments were prohibited, Negroponte claimed, under the July peace treaty that brought Intel into the One Laptop Per Child camp.
Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy denied that his company did anything that violated its agreement with One Laptop Per Child.
He reiterated that Intel could not live with Negroponte's demand for the company to stop selling its Classmate PCs overseas.
