MiCTA Expands Partnership with Sprint to Reduce Student Pricing on Wireless

MiCTA has expanded its partnership with Sprint. MiCTA, an association of organizations in higher education, healthcare, libraries, K-12, government, and other non-profits, helps identify and resolve common voice, data, and video issues and problems for its membership.

Under the new agreement, Sprint will offer discounted wireless services and solutions to the students of MiCTA higher-education institution members. Sprint, a MiCTA partner since 1989, is also the association's sole provider of wireless services and among its preferred list of partners for landline services.

MiCTA serves as a clearinghouse of information for technologies, provides information on new products and services, and obtains discounts on products and services for members.

Higher education institutions will receive administrative fees from MiCTA to market the program based on new student activations.
