註釋"The New York Public Library (NYPL) launched a pilot project in Spring 2014 intended to provide Internet access at home for low-income library users with limited broadband access by means of lending a portable Internet WiFi device (which use cellular networks to create a personal broadband Internet hotspot), thereby providing broadband Internet access to the families of students in NYPL's educational programming during hours when NYPL is closed. In an effort to expand broadband access for its users, thereby meeting a critical need of its users and in many cases helping to bridge the "digital divide" between lower income individuals and families and access to digital information, NYPL decided to expand the "Hot Spot" lending pilot project. The State Library of Kansas (SLK) has received a sub grant as part of the NYPL pilot expansion. The scope of work was modified in Kansas to provide MiFi router devices to a small number of Kansas public libraries for loan to library users in order to determine the effectiveness of this program within a more rural setting. Although NYPL had committed to Sprint as service provider for the initial project, it was agreed that Kansas would obtain service and devices through Verizon Wireless, due to the level of coverage in the state and the existence of a state contract."
