[QUOTE="John Galbreath Jr., post: 547661, member: 31"] [b]Re:[/b] Verison pulled the program. Get to keep the mifi, service ends on 11/25 or 11/30. ------ Huntsville City Schools OmniLynx In November, 2014, Huntsville City Schools began offering OmniLynx discounted broadband wireless services to its employees. In January, 2015, HCS extended the offer to parents and the community, and shared that announcement in a presentation at the Huntsville City Schools Board of Education Meeting on January 13, 2015. During that meeting, a government sales manager for Verizon Wireless, endorsed the OmniLynx program, stating that, “… the key word was partnership. We have been working with you guys in link over the past 8 or 9 months and I just cannot say enough about how that’s gone. Its really fantastic. I’m very pleased to announce everything that Jacob (with HCS) just went over.”He added that, “We have gone to a nationwide type level that I had to get some approvals for these prices….

I have also been told that there may be some specials offered by Verizon on Black Friday for data,,,,,,,we shall see! ----------- [/QUOTE]
