As I see it, commercial companies already develop learning tools--high school and college textbooks. These coursebooks are already required reading in classes. There already exist companies that profit off of universal education. That's not to say that there should be, but I think the situation will get better. With higher quality free educational texts, the for-profit companies will have to produce much better material or lower their prices to keep sales up. Either way, it seems like the learners benefit.
