The American telecom operator T-Mobile announced last year that it intends to provide millions of schoolchildren
T-Mobile announced it has committed $10.7 billion for the project, which will last the next decade. Its goal is to make the Internet accessible to children from low-income families.
The company said that even before the pandemic, more9 million American schoolchildren did not have access to the Internet and could not complete homework. Now many children are studying remotely due to coronavirus infection, and the need for the Internet could become even greater.
School administrations can apply for participationin a programme. Educational institutions will then distribute access points and devices to children. Each family can get a free hotspot and 100 GB of traffic for a year. This is not to say that this is a lot, but it may be enough for homework.
