What do you think about saving tax-payer dollars by bringing streaming services to the classroom? Cord cutting has been skyrocketing in popularity as recent studies have found cord cutting can save the consumer over $1,000 a year. Now, what about schools? Can they too benefit from cord cutting? As budgets become tight, many schools are considering cutting their TV bills. However, they are still looking for ways to bring video into the classroom as a teaching tool.
The problem is most streaming services don’t include legal rights to stream their content into a classroom. Technically, showing Netflix or Sling TV in a classroom breaks the terms of service as it does not include an additional fee for a public display license. Streaming Netflix or Sling TV content into classrooms will raise the risk of future legal action.
You’ll be glad to learn that there are several streaming services, both free and subscription-based, that can help make learning more fun. Let’s look at a few of our favorite options built especially with classroom learning in mind.
We try our best to avoid industry jargon. There are certain concepts, though, where jargon is the only concise way to say a thing. “Fiber blowing,” for example, beats “shoot air down a tube to reduce friction such that a fiber optic cable can be pushed as opposed to pulled through the conduit, lessening the risk of damage.”
We’ll continue to avoid jargon. That said, if your interest in the building out of a fiber network goes beyond “when will it be in my neighborhood?” there are a few terms and concepts it would be beneficial to understand.
In our Westminster progress reports we offer as much information as we possibly can on the fiber network build process. We’ll also talk about Ting events, promotions and some of the work we’re doing in the Westminster community. Check back regularly to keep up to date on the latest.
In our last update, we talked about the progress the city was making in Phase 3 of the network build. Today, we’re excited to report that the very first customers in Phase 3 have been lit up with crazy fast fiber Internet.
Summer is officially here and for many, that means traveling. Whether that is to a beach house, camping, or a week at the cottage, the good news is you can take your streaming with you. If you’ve been looking for the best streaming TV on the Internet, this guide’s for you.
I often travel for work and rather than hoping the hotel has a good TV lineup, I take a streaming player with me to watch my favorite shows on the road.
That raises the question, which of the many live TV streaming services is best for travelers? Well, the truth is, what’s right for me may not be right for you. We’ll break down each service’s rules and let you pick and choose the ones you like.
Loving crazy fast fiber Internet so far? Why not tell your friends, family and neighbors?
When you refer your family, neighbors and friends to Ting, you can score free service. If having better Internet access at home has helped your family, now’s the time to shout it from the rooftops.

You can share your Ting story on social media, on your personal blog or by word of mouth. Let people know how better Internet has changed things for you.
Maybe everyone in your house used to fight over the bandwidth and since Ting, they don’t anymore. Or maybe you’re noticing there’s no slowdown at night anymore when everyone on the network is at home trying to stream their favorite shows and movies.
Whatever the reason, if you’re loving Ting, you can get free service when you refer your neighbors and friends.
The Ting Makerspace is a community space where local makers, crafts hobbyists, creatives, artisans, students and more can access a bunch of awesome tech and tools for their latest maker projects.
We’re always on the lookout for new technology that makers can use. That’s why we added the Cricut Maker, the “ultimate smart cutting machine” to our Ting Makerspace.
