T-Mobile's new #Project10million aims to help 10 million students by giving them free internet service. The phone manufacturer's project was introduced in 2019 to end what the previous CEO John Legere called "the homework gap," providing free broadband internet to 10 million low-income households.

Parents can also volunteer their schools for the project. Once the schools successfully apply, they can now distribute the devices and hotspots, with T-Mobile's technical support and setup assistance.
Students' houses can pay $12 monthly for 100GB data each month. They could also get a free hotspot and 100GB of data over a single year. However, the provided data limits are still not enough to allow students to use YouTube, Zoom, and other video-streaming platforms for their entertainment and online classes.
T-Mobile is currently limiting the video streams to low-resolution 480p to solve the issue somehow. On the other hand, there'll be a limited number of hotspots available. But, the phone manufacturer will allocate more every year.
Although T-Mobile's program has many limits right now, it is still way better than having your children go outside to access Wi-Fi hotspots.
