Insights

The expansion of T-Mobile's Project 10Million (P10M) marks a significant step in addressing the digital divide in education. By doubling the data allowance to 200GB per year for eligible participants, T-Mobile is responding to the 226% surge in educational technology use over the past five years. This increase aligns with the growing demands of digital learning, including video streaming and web calls.

The partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a strategic move to reach more students, particularly those in underserved communities. This collaboration, coupled with enrollment campaigns and sign-up events, has the potential to significantly expand the program's reach beyond the 6 million students already connected.

While this initiative is commendable from a social responsibility standpoint, its direct impact on T-Mobile's bottom line may be However, it could enhance brand perception and customer loyalty in the long term, potentially leading to increased market share in family-oriented demographics.

T-Mobile's enhancement of Project 10Million demonstrates a strategic long-term investment in corporate social responsibility and market expansion. The $10.7 billion initiative, having already provided $6.9 billion in products and services, shows significant financial commitment.

The program's expansion, including doubling data allowances and partnering with a major youth organization, positions T-Mobile to potentially capture a larger share of the family and education market. This move could lead to increased brand loyalty and customer retention in a highly competitive telecom landscape.

While the immediate financial impact may be neutral or slightly negative due to increased data provision, the long-term benefits in terms of customer acquisition and retention could outweigh these costs. This initiative aligns with T-Mobile's "Un-carrier" brand identity, potentially differentiating it from competitors in corporate social responsibility efforts.

The Un-carrier is doubling the data for eligible P10M participants and launching a new partnership with the nation’s leading after-school organization to get free internet into the hands of more students and bridge the digital divide

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Since 2020, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS)’s $10.7 billion Project 10Million (P10M) initiative has delivered reliable and affordable internet service to more than 6 million young learners across the U.S., but even with that progress the need for connectivity has only continued to rise. Technology use in education has seen a massive 226% surge over the past five years that spans classroom and homework. School-related tasks from digital assignments to research, video streaming, video lessons, and web calls require more data. And a vast majority of students are working from homes with multiple users. All of this on top of an up to 17 million school age children across the U.S. who still may not have reliable internet access at all, according to the FCC. To meet this continued demand, the Un-carrier announced that it is enriching its P10M program, increasing the data allowance for many students to better meet user needs and partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and artist and activist Common to help even more youth get the access they need to be successful.

Starting Sept. 26, qualifying kindergarten through 12th grade student families who sign up for P10M with T-Mobile will now receive 200GB per year for five years, twice the previous 100GB allotment. Current Project 10Million families with T-Mobile will also enjoy increased data for the remainder of their five years. Student families will also be able to purchase a new highly discounted 10GB data pass for just $10 if they hit their data limit. And, starting in October 2024, school districts with the greatest needs served by P10M will have the opportunity to receive more data for their students — also up to 200GB.

To continue helping bridge the digital divide and reach more students, the Un-carrier is also partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to hold enrollment campaigns and sign-up events nationwide. Two events were recently held alongside Oscar, Emmy and Grammy award-winning artist and activist Common, a champion of digital equity, education and T-Mobile’s Project 10Million; one was held on Sept. 6 in Dallas, and the other one in the Bronx, New York, on Sept. 24.

"We launched our groundbreaking Project 10Million program back in 2020 with a simple goal - to provide free or highly subsidized home Internet to up to 10Million students at home, so they won't fall behind in school," said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. "And today, after providing more than 6 million students with the critical Internet access they need to succeed, we're making the program even better than ever, with a set of program enhancements, to help our largest and most important community program to make an even bigger impact."

“Our Club professionals are dedicated to ensuring all youth have the resources and support they need to achieve academic success. We believe strongly in the power of collaboration and community, which is why we’re joining forces with T-Mobile to make sure families with school-aged children have access to the essential connectivity that enables all youth to unlock their full potential,” said Jim Clark, President and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Additional Project 10Million back-to-school activations have been held or are to come in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Tacoma, Washington; Kansas City, Missouri; and Oklahoma City.

T-Mobile announced Project 10Million in 2019 and launched the program in 2020 with the goal of offering 10 million at-risk students a free hotspot, free data plans, and access to at-cost laptops and tablets and has continued to improve the initiative to include a portfolio of options for schools and families. To date the company has provided $6.9 billion in products and services and connected over 6 million students through P10M to help close the digital divide.
