Heard a good example in the context of my job....
Apparently one particular brand of satellite radio equipment is very popular with the locals in outback Africa. Not because the satellite service provides a voice and data link with the outside world, but because a power supply unit purloined from the system can power a whole range of appliances in the head men's houses!
