Report: Scrapping E-Rate Would Cost US Economy $4.2 Billion a Year
Original: New Report: Eliminating E-Rate Would Cost the U.S. Economy $4.2 Billion a Year
A new report warns that eliminating E-Rate, the federal program subsidising internet access for schools and libraries, would cost the U.S. economy an estimated $4.2 billion a year. The findings, circulated by the American Library Association, argue the program delivers major economic value, giving ammunition to defenders of the subsidy as its future faces political scrutiny.
Why now: The program's future is under political scrutiny, and the report gives supporters fresh economic arguments to defend it.
