FCC weighs ending discounted 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, or possibly ending, the E-Rate program, which provides discounted internet access to schools and libraries across the United States. The proposal has drawn attention because the program has long helped low-income students and communities get online, and its rollback could affect internet access for millions. Supporters of the program are expected to push back against any elimination.
Why now: The potential elimination of a long-running program that subsidizes internet for schools and libraries would directly affect students and communities nationwide.
