<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello</div><div><br></div><div>We are going live February 1. Currently we are going with T-Mobile as it more fits our objectives with the program. Sprint also offers hotspot lending, but doesn't fit our coverage model/pricing. We will see how it works out, but so far the units function well. We are still working out the policies, filtering, etc, when we have more information I will send it out.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>MPM</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 9:20 AM, Dillon Geshel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dgeshel@pldl.org" target="_blank">dgeshel@pldl.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks, Cindy.
