<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">We are considering circulating Wi-Fi Hotspots and wondering if anyone else doing this has worked with Verizon for their Hotspots. Verizon appears to be the only wireless provider with connectivity over most
of Logan County. If so, how did it work out? Did they provide State of Ohio pricing? Also, did they provide a way to disable overdue hotspots? We were hoping to get a bit of information before we actually approach Verizon.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
