Re: I think funds should absolutely go to satelite broadband I still think Satellite Broadband sucks..
..but the older equipment would make sense for small rural towns. I lived in a tiny town (Broadus, MT) and there is no way to get a return for the latest DOCSIS gear. But if they were able to purchase used DOCSIS1 or 2 gear for next to nothing, then it'd give them an incentive to offer it.
Not to mention, it would benefit the environment. Remember the Recycling motto.. Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. We're using the "Reuse" portion and preventing e-waste by reusing old equipment.
Why do you think I operate a small DC out of my garage from PPro to Xeon servers that were "too old" to be usable? Throw Linux or *BSD on 'em and watch 'em fly. You'd be amazed what a Pentium Pro can do with Linux on it.
