> It’s a good idea to enable cellular service for those who don’t have adequate access at home.

But then the students with mobile access have an advantage over those who only have home access. And how do you determine who has adequate access at home and who doesn't? Much easier and more equitable to just provide it for everyone.

The endless hand-wringing over extreme equity at all costs is causing a lot of bad decisions.

How about this: Anyone who needs cellular can request it by filling out a form and then it’s activated on their machine.

No equity problems. No need to buy a million lines of service for 800,000 students up front.
