Blogger's Note: Charles Choi writes a weekly feature distributed through UPI called Nano World. Charles' excellent nanotech pieces appear online and in newspapers around the world every Friday, but he and his editors have agreed to give me sneak previews.

In this Nano World we'll discuss some things industry, governments and academia can do, including pro-poor business techniques and modified intellectual property provisions.
Update: Here's the story.
