Allow me to start with a quote from the Governor and recommend you watch the video below.

"We are working with our internet providers and software leaders in our state, and other private sector partners to connect our students and educators, for what they need in teaching. We have partners in higher education at schools and in libraries that are also helping us set up interconnected hotspots in urban and rural areas across the state. And we're going to ask all of those partners to step up to the plate, to the extent humanly possible, to get as many kids well connected as humanly possible in the state of Washington."  -- Governor Jay Inslee

After failing to mention all of the successful public fiber-optic networks in Washington, and assuring us that he will only work with big private sector providers to provide connections, along their guidelines, he then asks teachers to be flexible with getting paid and working, and acknowledges that not all of our students will be connected. He seems totally unaware that in the rest of the developed world, in very mountainous countries like South Korea, everyone is connected to fiber to the home. He goes on to assure us that they will make a "best effort" under the guidance of the big telecoms, give our students inferior, over-priced hotspots at best, especially in rural areas, and call it good. Oh and he fails to mention that this solution will not address our problems with truly equitable low-income connections in the future, even though they're closing schools until at least the fall.
