West Virgina spent $22,600 each for 1,064 Cisco 3945 series routers using Federal stimulus funds intended to expand high speed internet access in less populated areas. This means that, as an example given in the article, the 4 computers in the Putnam County library have a big honkin' way-overkill router burning excess electricity. The Cisco sales agents recommended smaller routers, the state's office of technology recommended smaller routers, but West Virginia Homeland Security chief Jimmy Gianato pushed through the ill-advised purchase
"I'm not an expert on the technical side," he said, "but these have all kinds of capabilities and applications."
"Homeland Security", still your strongest source for graft, corruption and stupidity.
