They are only over budget for the pilot. They get the money back when they buy the agreed upon volume of units. It should not be a surprise to anyone that you have to actually buy in bulk to get a discount. Well, everyone except LAUSD.

Look what happened with Google purchasing Motorolla.  The purchase price was $20B and they are losing $1B each year.  Its not easy to make a big strategic purchase.  Most times it loses the company billions.
