  • Sprint 1 Million Providing Internet Access and Devices to Low-Income Students in San Jose
    SPRINT 1 MILLION PROVIDING INTERNET ACCESS AND DEVICES TO LOW-INCOME STUDENTS IN SAN JOSE Sprint 1 Billion beneficiaries. Photo: Tech Exchange EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The city of San Jose, California, and the Kansas-based telecommunications operator Sprint partnered to provide free mobile hotspots and wireless Internet to help close the city’s “homework gap” in Fall 2017. As schools learn to incorporate hybrid-learning pedagogies, students need access to the Internet in order to complete their homework. The project identifies those in need based on whether or not they are eligible for the free or reduced cost lunch program, who do not already have Internet at home. They provide eligible students with a mobile phone or tablet as well as monthly Internet and voice services free of charge until they graduate. The project serves students at a total of 48 schools in San Jose so far, and aims to serve 10,000 students over the next five years. Keywords: Wi-Fi hotspots, education, low-income students, urban, San Jose 1 CONTEXT Despite being the capital of Silicon Valley and the richest American city in 2015, San Jose, CA, also has one of the largest income inequality gaps in the country. Affordability became the main reason for unconnected areas. According to Shireen Santosham, chief innovation officer in the San José Mayor’s Office, a significant part of the population has an income of less than $25,000 a year. More than 12 percent of the city’s households, and more than 40 percent of the residents with incomes under $20,000, have no household Internet access – amounting to around 95,000 residents.
