Cisco Looking To Make Things Right With West Virginia 182
alphadogg writes "Cisco has offered to 'take back' routers it sold to West Virginia if the state finds they are inappropriate for its needs, according to a post on wvgazette.com. The offer is in response to a state auditor's finding (PDF) that West Virginia wasted $8 million — and perhaps as much as $15 million — in acquiring 1,164 ISR model 3945 branch routers from Cisco in 2010 for $24 million in federal stimulus funds, or over $20,000 per router. The auditor found that hundreds of sites around the state — libraries, schools and State Police facilities — could have been just as suitably served with lower-end, less expensive routers."

We need to eliminate monopolistic, nany-state actors, like the "State Auditor" - who's sole purpose is meddlesome interference and disruption of a free-market system.
This case is a great example, illustrating that the enlightened self-interest of all parties will ensure a fair market of desired outcome, if we remove the coercive influence of Government.
