T-Mobile plans to provide free internet service to millions of students and their households as the pandemic ushers in a new normal of remote learning.
The cellular service network recently announced the start of a $10.7 billion initiative that's meant to deliver free internet connectivity to all U.S. students who are part of free and reduced-price school lunch programs. Under the 10-year program, millions of low-income households will get free wireless hotspots and free high-speed data, T-Mobile says. It's executing the plan by partnering with school districts across the country.
Schools check out free tablets and computers to students....not all households have internet in order to receive the online classes...hence TMobile's gift of the internet to those lower income families...Oh, and thank you so much for using this format to gripe about your service!
Nothing is free! Someone will be paying for it
I had T Mobile they have lousy service, the free service will probably 1x
Many schools don’t ask anymore. They provide free meals to any student.
Are they going to give them computers too?
Other than this, TMobile sucks
How does that benefit them? Where is the profit?
