The article states they must give this $15 internet service to all families with kids who qualify for free and reduced price lunch.

So in NYC, according to a google search, that is 72% of children. That's a LOT of households.

In the rest of New York state, 41% of children qualify for FRPL. That's also a LOT of households.

I think this is legislation that has good intentions, but is not well thought out. If the state government wants to bring better internet access to families, perhaps they need to fund it, or work with internet providers to offer subsidies to bring the cost down to what they're proposing. Just expecting internet providers to eat the cost for what would amount to 50% of their customers is IMHO not reasonable.
