FCC weighs ending discount internet program for schools and libraries

Original: FCC considering changes, possibly ending, program that offers discounted internet to schools, libraries

The Federal Communications Commission is considering changes to, and possibly ending, the E-Rate program, which provides discounted internet access to schools and libraries across the United States. The program has long helped low-income students and patrons get online, and any rollback would affect funding for connectivity in education and public libraries nationwide.

Why now: The potential loss of subsidized internet for schools and libraries raises concerns about the digital divide and education funding.
