<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As a follow-up to my message yesterday, I wanted to provide some information on broadband options for students that may not have Internet access at home. Below you will find some regional options for delivering
broadband to students in low-income households or underserved areas. I’m also including a response from our regional Kajeet representative to a question about the availability of their cellular hotspot service given the potential for school closings. With
all of these options, it may be difficult to implement in a short period of time. If you’re interested in Kajeet, or any of these solutions for home broadband, you may want to act quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As always, please let me know if I can answer any questions or provide additional information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">We are being inundated with calls. We will run out of stock at some point. So, time is of the essence. Today, I can fulfill orders, tomorrow, I am not sure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">With expedited shipping, we can get devices to districts in 2-3 days from the day they submit paperwork. Otherwise, we are looking at 1-3 week turn around time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
