FCC Seeks Comment on Broadband Needs in Education
11.17.09 | 
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a public notice (pdf) earlier this month seeking comment on broadband needs in education.
The agency is asking for data on various issues related to broadband access in education and the E-rate program, which provides discounts to eligible schools and libraries for telecommunications services, Internet access and internal connections.
From the notice: “We are specifically seeking data, reports, and case studies regarding pre-kindergarten through graduate school students and schools working with broadband connectivity and online, application service provider (ASP) and cloud-based solutions. We welcome data and case studies from public, private, charter, and religious schools.”
Comments are due to the FCC by Nov. 20. Reply comments are due Dec. 11. Learn more from reading the detailed public notice.
