NEC Admits To Ripping Off Schools Through E-Rate Program

Posted by timothy on from the infinite-takers-for-finite-pie dept.

MAurelius writes "The New York Times (regist. req'd) is reporting that NEC now admits to ripping off multiple low-income school districts by connecting them to the internet with equipment more advanced and expensive than necessary. Several orders of magnitude more expensive. All paid for by telephone rate-payers. That would be you."

    I'm not trying to minimalize theft. I think stealing a 100$ walkman is a crime too.

    Just trying to point out the oddity that is the modern world.
