As we reported yesterday, a lack of foresight and even hindsight by the UK government has left some children high and dry on the lack of laptops.
But while it’s all very well having a laptop, if an underprivileged kid wants to study online that obviously requires a secure and reliable internet connection.
We have contacted BT as to whether it has been approached to tender for a cheaper interweb connection for kids maybe with a laptop but no way to conduct “online learning”. We have also dropped a line to the government.
As usual, BT’s really crap PR network has failed to respond to our urgent questions. So no change there. BT has failed to communicate anything for the last 40 years. It is the backbone of the interweb, in the UK.
The BBC is inviting people to contribute laptops &c. But Auntie Beeb seems to have forgotten the lack of web access.
Promises by government ministers that children will be provided machines so they can learn online are untrue, it has emerged. There is a huge shortage of PCs because of increased demand, so reducing supplies.

Chinese tech company Huawei said it was on track to roll out 5G in line with its plans during 2019.
