Oh, the FCC E-Rate program. So much corruption, so much waste. There were people who would purchase something for a school with the most % of kids on free or reduced price lunch, since that was used to set the "FCC match" percentage. So, if 90% of the kids were on that plan, we'd only pay 10% of the actual cost. So, they'd order something for the school with the highest percentage and would then park that equipment there for a year (to fulfill the requirement that it must be used there). A year later, they'd move it somewhere else. I wrote about this particular router instance last year and linked it with my own FCC story from the year before that. http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/05/08/router/ http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/05/08/router/
