Amidst the coronavirus outbreak, where people are recommended to distance themselves from other human beings, temporary measures to make internet access more affordable have been made by internet and wireless providers in the U.S to make up for the loss of human interaction and make online human interaction flourish.
Most notable is Comcast's free public Wi-Fi for all for 60 days, effective Saturday. Major metropolitan areas are thick with Comcast's Xfinity-branded hotspots.

Other service providers, such as AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile also announced their decisions to make internet access more affordable.
