The City of London Corporation<\/a> has today announced that they will be handing out a “one off pre-loaded dongle device free of charge that will provide data to access the internet,<\/em>” which will be provided to those who may be unable to leave home as a result of COVID-19 or cannot afford their own broadband access.<\/p>\n

The new scheme will be made available those who live in the Square Mile<\/strong> area of central London, who have been told to shield or self-isolate and who receive help to pay their council tax. Apparently the CoLC say they’ve written to “every household in receipt of council tax benefit providing a simple application form and pre-paid return envelope<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

All of this is in addition to the support provided by the City Corporation to children and young people needing support with education or who have additional needs during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Randall Anderson, Chair of the CoLC’s Community and Children’s Services Committee, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The coronavirus pandemic has meant that some people have been asked to shield or self-isolate, but we know that not everyone has access to the internet.<\/p>\n

Shielding and self-isolation can lead to loneliness and becoming detached from everyday life.<\/p>\n

We hope that by supporting those who are most vulnerable to this virus will now have a means to stay connected.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly the press release is quite vague and doesn’t say how much data is being provided or by which provider and under what terms of use. Likewise they don’t even say if it’s a 4G<\/a> based mobile broadband solution or something else, although we’d generally assume it to be a mobile product. We have requested further details and await a reply.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11:41am<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CoLC have advised that the device should be 4G<\/a> and is not tied to a specific manufacturer (i.e. they will see what is available and best meets the needs of those seeking help). In terms of the data allowance, the intention is to provide up to 20GB<\/strong> of data, which should be fine for basic tasks but won’t last long if somebody does any moderate streaming.<\/p>\n

No replacement in event of loss or damage will be provided. No further data will be provided for this device by the City of London Corporation, but we assume the end-user will be able to buy a top-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
