NEC Admits To Ripping Off Schools Through E-Rate Program
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."
is why is this "bad"? I thought that American business was simply a matter of stepping on other peoples backs to climb the "success" ladder and managed to acquire [how is left as exercise to the reader] the most of an intangible object [that would be money].
I guess getting caught is where NEC screwed up. You're supposed to take all the money while muttering something about a 2 day "same as nothing" exchange policy for defective equipment. All while another salesdemon tries to upsell you on an extended warranty. So you know, if something breaks they'll have look at it in 2 to 3 months and maybe even fix it if the devry graduate computer tech even knows how to open the fucking thing.
Yeah modern business!!!
