    Dear Dr. Smith,
    Dear Ashley,
     
    Thank you for introducing this valuable discussion trigger.
     
    Indeed, "New Study Reveals Unlimited Mobile Data Plans Expand Access to Education Data, with Low-Income and Rural Households Benefiting Most" contains an important finding that works, on the one hand
     
    (a) in and of itself, educationally, 
    and on the other hand
     
    (b) for the future of our countries and their citizens, their companies and their communities in which communicational, informational and even computational, at the same time human- and user-friendly, financially affordable or even free educational devices particularly serve the socially disadvantaged.
     
    In this respect, your initiative today is a great impetus to all the posts I have discussed here in recent weeks, for example in "human resource management" or the "competitiveness" of all those involved through unlimited mobile data plans expanding access to education data. 
     
    Thanks again,
    also to the entire INFORMS team, which ensures this unique discussion forum.
     
    Best regards,
    best wishes,
    Willi (Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber)
