I should clarify, I heard this (nothing to back it up with) is only if
the school is providing a device, Tablet/chromebook, that they provide
connectivity for those who don't have it at home.

I could be wrong, as I don't have kids, but I thought I heard that if
a child doesn't have broadband at home, they're sent home with a 4G
hotspot. Maybe that varies by district.

My reading of the Pew study bargraphs is people only have so much
money and they’re not going to give up their smartphones which
take an ever increasing share of the budget, plus they can get on
WiFi at work and other places. Many people no longer have
computers, just “devices”, so it’s a question of whether you go
over your data plan enough to pay for unlimited fixed broadband
at home. Not sure how that works with game consoles and video
streaming devices though.

If I didn't get it for free at home, There's a good chance I
might not have it. But that's just because I'm too cheap to have
it when I do a Cost/Benefit analysis on it. I could use the
$60/mo doing something more fun instead of sitting at home!

Shrinking middle class, LTE, expensive bundling with cable COs

expensive. LTE now covers areas where DSL didn't exist, or where
only low speeds were offered.
