<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW YORK: T-Mobile<\/a> is pushing to offer internet service to schools that are doing online learning with a program aimed at low-income students who don't have access. In the U.S., millions of students don't have high-speed internet or computers at home - a difficult enough situation when it was just about trying to get homework done, but a much bigger problem when many school districts have moved part or all of the school day online during the coronavirus pandemic.

School districts are spending big to address the crisis. The L.A. Unified School District is investing $100 million in online learning, including computers and internet service for kids who don't have them. T-Mobile wants to expand its business that serves large organizations like big companies and schools.

It had already planned to give districts 100 gigabytes of free wireless data per year per student, a commitment the company made while pursuing its acquisition of
Sprint<\/a>. But since that allotment wouldn't last more than a few months if kids streamed school all day, T-Mobile is adding two paid plans as well: $12 a month per household for 100GB, or $15 a month for unlimited data. The carrier says those prices are discounted to reflect the free-data offer.

Matt Staneff<\/a>, T-Mobile's chief marketing officer, and Mike Katz<\/a>, an executive who leads the T-Mobile division that caters to large organizations like schools and big companies, spoke with The Associated Press about the company's new effort to serve schools. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.<\/em><\/strong>

Q: Is providing connectivity to schools something that you see as a big business opportunity?
<\/strong>
Staneff: Sure, there's business opportunities there. But the motivation of doing this is that we recognize there's a problem in society of kids not being connected. We want to do more than just try to win customers. This is a huge problem.

Q: And you think 10 million kids have connection issues that stops them from being able to do online school? Estimates vary, but I've seen higher numbers. (A new study says between 15 million and 16 million public-school students don't have adequate internet connections or devices for online school.)
<\/strong>
Staneff: There's another data point that says 56% of school-age kids have had trouble completing their homework. And that's a little bit broader because it's not just the internet. A lot of them do it on a phone. They have internet access. It could be that they need a bigger screen, which is why we're also offering at-cost, larger-screen devices. We've looked at the enrollments in the school lunch program, we've looked at all the Census data. That's what this number is.

Q: What have you been charging schools for getting internet to students who don't have it?
<\/strong>
Katz: It ranges greatly. I can tell you this program is now going to be our main education program. The district, they can get unlimited starting at $15. That's value that's not available anywhere else in the market, and it enables schools to then pass through service at no cost to the students.

Q: So does the new program offer better pricing for schools than what's available to them from T-Mobile now?
<\/strong>
Katz: It's netting so prices are lower than what we've done at any time.

Q: How long will this be available?
<\/strong>
Staneff: Once you sign up, you're good for five years.

纽约:t - mobile正在向学校提供互联网服务做在线学习与程序针对低收入的学生无法获得。在美国,数以百万计的学生没有高速互联网或电脑在家里——足够困难的情况只是为了完成作业,但一个更大的问题,许多学校已经部分或全部在线的冠状病毒大流行期间学校的一天。

学区花大解决危机。洛杉矶联合校区投资1亿美元的在线学习,包括计算机和互联网服务的孩子没有他们。t - mobile希望扩大其业务,服务于大型组织像大公司和学校。

它已经计划给地区每个学生每年100 gb的免费无线数据,公司承诺在追求收购冲刺。但由于分配不超过几个月如果孩子整天流学校,t - mobile是增加两个支付计划:12美元每户每月100 gb,或每月15美元的无限制的数据。承运人说这些价格是反映免费数据提供折扣。

马特Stanefft - mobile的首席营销官,迈克·卡茨t - mobile部门行政领导,迎合大型组织与学校和大公司一样,与美联社关于公司的新努力为学校服务。谈话已经编辑了长度和清晰。

问:学校提供连接的东西你看到一个大商机?

Staneff:当然,那里的商业机会。但这样做的动机是,我们认识有一个问题在社会的孩子没有连接。我们要做的不仅仅是试图赢得客户。这是一个巨大的问题。

问:你认为1000万个孩子有连接问题,阻止他们能够在线学校吗?估计各有不同,但我见过更高的数字。(一项新的研究表明从1500万年到1600万年,公立学校的学生没有足够的网络连接或设备在线学校。)

Staneff:还有一个数据点,说56%的学龄孩子有麻烦完成他们的家庭作业。这有点大,因为这不仅仅是互联网。很多人做手机。他们有互联网接入。可能是他们需要一个更大的屏幕上,这就是为什么我们还提供以成本价,大屏幕设备。我们看了入学的学校午餐计划,我们看到所有的人口普查数据。这就是这个数字。

问:你都让互联网收费学校的学生没有吗?

卡茨:范围很大。我可以告诉你这个项目现在是我们主要的教育项目。区,他们可以得到无限的起价15美元。的价值,不是市场上可用的其他地方,然后它使学校通过免费为学生服务。

问:那么这个新项目提供更好的定价为学校比现在可以从t - mobile是什么呢?

卡茨:网所以价格低于我们所做的在任何时间。

问:这个可以多长时间?

Staneff:一旦你注册,你就好了五年。
