On Friday's news we told you about the signing of the Digi-learn Master Service Agreement between Digi and the Ministry of Education. In it, BTL commits to provide an undisclosed number of laptop computers and bandwidth, while the Ministry will provide the educational component of the very ambitious program.
And while Digilearn is now formally rolling out to high schools after a pilot earlier this year, what really does it mean for the ministry, the telecoms company - and, most importantly, the students?
We tried to get at some answers at Friday's launch but we got something more like a sales pitch when we asked the Digi CEO how much the company is spending.
We also asked Education Minister Faber about other less successful attempts at putting computers in classrooms:
In 2015, before the March municipals, Faber donated 500 computer tablets to tertiary level students.
