[Michlib-l] Mobile Wi-Fi Hot Spots

[Michael Mccaffery]

Hello

We are going live February 1. Currently we are going with T-Mobile as it
more fits our objectives with the program. Sprint also offers hotspot
lending, but doesn't fit our coverage model/pricing. We will see how it
works out, but so far the units function well. We are still working out the
policies, filtering, etc, when we have more information I will send it out.

Thanks

MPM
