Greetings all,

You may have already seen FCC Chairman Pai's "Keep America Connected Pledge" during the coronavirus pandemic.   https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-363033A1.pdf<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.fcc.gov%2Fpublic%2Fattachments%2FDOC-363033A1.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cnorriss2%40michigan.gov%7Ce61eccb26ab34326c8d308d7c7806e8b%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637197226730758290&sdata=OXNtIydgqlg0pcbhgWVfpL6HvmkosBCyIiSzl6xkTfs%3D&reserved=0>

It is a pledge by a variety of large media companies (listed in the doc):

The Keep Americans Connected Pledge reads as follows:

Given the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on American society, [[Company Name]] pledges for the next 60 days to:

(1) not terminate service to any residential or small business customers because of their inability to pay their bills due to the disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic;
(2) waive any late fees that any residential or small business customers incur because of their economic circumstances related to the coronavirus pandemic; and
(3) open its Wi-Fi hotspots to any American who needs them.
