Louisiana state government spent a buttload of money on dedicated high speed fiber optic lines between a bunch of different universities in the state for videoconferencing, telenetworking, "grid computing" etc. 10 years later the only people who remember how to use the system are at LSU, rendering the purpose moot. Everyone else just uses Zoom or Skype.
