[OPLINLIST] Circulating Hotspots

[Technology Coordinator]

Becky,

We are using Verizon for our Wi-Fi Hotspot provider for exactly the same
reason. It seems to be working out well and is a popular item for
circulation. We have increased our device counts three times since the
start of our program.

You can shut off the hot spots from a web page. When we first started
circulating these we had to shut them down before they would come back.

There is a deep discount on service and devices, but I am not certain it is
official State of Ohio pricing. I am including our representative's
information below.

Thank you,
Mark
