Connecting two 110V wires takes seconds. Compare that to say, 50m of CAT6 cable, running it through ceilings and/or walls, and crimping RJ-45 connecters at both ends. It's not the same.
But we can agree to disagree on this.
To be fair, what would cost us 100 dollars in parts and 10 minutes of time would cost the government at least 5k if not more. Got to love government waste.
I agree, prices are over inflated, but I don't think it's "government" waste...it's the cost of industrial work. The private corporation I work for would and does pay the same cost.
