Purdue university seems to have a reasonable solution. They send all the surplus (computers, furniture, lab equipment, etc) to a warehouse outside of town. Other departments get first crack at anything, then the equipment is sold to the public. Every few months they hold an auction to clear out stuff that hasn't been bought and anything left after that gets dumped. This seems like a good model to me.
The Gary - Chicago - Milwaukee corridor has had real time traffic and construction information available on the web for years at the GCM Travel website.
"Ambani said eventually, the wireless in local loop (WLL) facility would connect all the 6,40,000 villages..."
This system is WiLL which means no handoffs. This type of system is great for replacing existing (or non-existant) land line infrastructures to single points (like homes). This reduces the complexity of the system and therfore the cost of installation and upkeep. However, this system doesn't work if the user is moving around, so it's no substitue for a true cellular system.

Legomation has a long and storied history. Check out some old school work at WDLN.tv.
Purdue has a similar salvage yard. Finding stuff there often involves climbing through stacks of 386s.
