Comcast is opening up their xfinity hotspots for free.

Link above tells how to find them.

So people can sit in their cars just like they do outside the library. Only problem would be for those that need external power source.

Thanks to those who have replied to my earlier email.  I have found out that there is a 12 week supply chain shortage of mobile hot spots so I guess this is why larger internet companies aren't able to provide them to underserved areas.   If I hear anything different I will be sure to pass it along,
 
Stay safe,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Free mobile hot spots?
 
All,
Have you heard of any internet companies who may be lending mobile hot spots for free to rural, underserved areas?  The local school in my community is trying to find access for many of our students in Tuscola County.  
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Kate
