E-Rate funding called essential for library internet access
Original: E-Rate funding is essential for library internet access
A local newspaper argues that E-Rate funding is essential for keeping public libraries connected to the internet. The program subsidises broadband for schools and libraries, and supporters say libraries depend on it to provide free online access to residents who lack home internet. The piece underscores growing concern that cuts to the program would hit rural and low-income communities hardest.
Why now: Debates over federal broadband funding have put programs like E-Rate back in the spotlight.
