COVID-19 RESOURCES
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF
GEORGIA
Tuesday, April 7, 2020
 We understand that some students and faculty may have
challenges accessing the Internet from their homes and may not
always be able to get to areas with Wi-Fi. We suggest some of the
following options.
 The FCC has asked companies to work with Americans impacted
by COVID-19 to help provide them with Internet access. Students
and faculty may be able to access free Internet through service
providers available in their area. Companies are also pledging to
keep public Wi-Fi hot-spots open for any American who needs
them. Additionally, some cell phone companies are extending
unlimited data plans to existing customers for no additional
charge.
COVID-19 RESOURCES
 FCC agreement stating that providers will waive late fees, not
cutoff service for lack of payment, and open hot-spots.
 Comcast COVID-19 response: offers freeWi-Fi for 2 months to
low income families plus all Xfinity hot-spots are free to the
public during this time.
 Charter Free Internet Offer for 2 Months
 AT&T COVID-19 response: offers open hot-spots, unlimited data
to existing customers, and $10/month plans to low income
families.
 Verizon COVID-19 response: no special offers, but following the
FCC agreement.
Tuesday, April 7, 2020
COVID-19 RESOURCES
 Sprint COVID-19 response: follows FCC agreement, provides
unlimited data to existing customers, and, startingTuesday,
3/17/2020, will allow all handsets to enable hot-spots for 60 days at
no extra charge.
 T-Mobile COVID-19 response: follows FCC agreement, plus
unlimited data to existing customers, and, coming soon, will allow
all handsets to enable hot-spots for 60 days at no extra charge (I
expect others will follow).
 Phone hot-spot. If you have a cell phone and data plan with
Internet access, in some instances, your phone can be used as a
hot-spot to share data with other devices such as a desktop,
laptop, or iPad.
Tuesday, April 7, 2020
COVID-19 RESOURCES
 USG Institutions: Consider developing campusWi-Fi “Parking Lot
Hot-Spots” for students and faculty with broadband connectivity
issues.To help mitigate low bandwidth/access issues, consider
designating “Parking Lot Hot-Spots” in one or more locations on
the campus. Similar to designated cell phone parking lots at
airports, these would be zones where students and faculty can
come to campus, park their cars, and access campus-based high-
speed broadband, in isolation, in their own automobiles.This will
necessitate a strong outdoorWi-Fi signal. Leadership and ITS
should consider easy guest network access as well, in case their
campus may be the closest location for students or faculty from
another USG institution.
