In California, at least, students are eligible for subsidized ($20/month) LTE hotspots. Apparently it is provided by Sprint as part of an agreement they made when they leased spectrum that had previously been set aside for educational use. These could and should been made free for low-income families.

I'm not from the US, but it sounds like the state could and should leverage this to the maximum.


These are likely insufficient for video-based schoolwork or materials. That would max out any quota set for these hotspots


Theres no quota on the Sprint grandfathering. Check out the Calyx institute hotspot for an example (and a cool org)
