i just saved the third world or feces is a renewable resource

Given:
In a BBC News Online article by Jane Black the following facts were stated:
More than 80% of people in the world have never heard a dial tone, let alone sent an email or downloaded information from the World Wide Web.

Even if its margin of error is 20 points here is how we fix it:

The grid is a industrial revolution concept where all basic utilities (electric, water, sewage) come from centralized monopolies, concentrating money and power to the state or corporation with huge start-up costs.

If huge swaths of the population are off-grid we make Micro-Grids

1. Identify a 3rd world slum with no electric, sewage, water treatment, where feces and trash fills the streets
2. Install a Methane Plant Electric Generator (MPEG)
   
3. Have people fill it with their waste
   
4. Use the MPEG to power a water pump and treatment facility
   
5. Use the MPEG to power a cellphone tower, Sell license
6. Use license money to provide micro-lending
7. Micro-lending will allow people to start distance learning, ebay their crafts, buy more cows, hire doctors, anything really
8. people can have homes wired directly to it or they can rent fully charged car batteries and exchange them as they need to
   

These small MPEGs can power a village pump to bring clean water from local sources. This alone will free up hundreds of work hours a week from the women of the village, who can then use their time for education and craftwork and generate money.

As the MPEG produces power, it generates this by cleaning up the village, creating a Micro-sewage system where all waste is brought to a centralized location: The MPEG.

the MPEG will also power a cell tower and a broadband satellite which will provide huge leaps of communication and technology, providing distance learning, distance medical attention.

Most importantly the MPEG will power refrigeration units. These are important as they can store vaccines. Space can be rented to local farmers/butchers/ etc. to preserve their product

Crap is a renewable resource.

Will IKEA become the next RIAA?

With 3d printers coming becoming household friendly in the next 20-30 years which will use plastic or metal materials and possibly more, the "design premium" on common goods be dead.

People will just download cool CAD specs of cups, vases, etc. and render them at home. Legally on not, 3D design will be only a series of 101010101 to be bought, or hacked and torrented.

Will a man in a van come to your home with a muli-material 3D printer (for the poor of course, the rich will have there own in-home store) and render what you need?

when you're done with your new toy you can recycle it yourself

Will some 12 kid in guam on a hand-cranked laptop be your favorite designer?

3D-blogging? People will be able to post vase designs based on how there feeling that day.

bobble heads or pez dispensers that are moulded after your 80 Auntie?

Will these 3D printers be the Amazon killers? Fed-Ex, UPS even cardboardbox companies will suffer major losses if these devices go mainstream.

Will "Over-Choice" become a major problem? How long will spend online choosing your daily coffee cup with the most current pop-culture reference? Will you hire a service to make your choices easier based on your profile? or will your printer make design choices for you.

how will this affect the 3rd world manufacturing

The economics of this are the biggest problem but, that can be balanced with against shipping costs, scale, labor, oil, pollution

Plummeting prices

Now Adrian Bowyer hopes to change that by making the first 3D printer capable of fabricating copies of itself, as well as a wealth of everyday objects. He reasons that prices would plummet to around $500 if every machine was capable of building hundreds more at no cost beyond that of the raw materials.
