E-rate Reform: Making the Conversation (Wi-Fi) Accessible

[Commentary] The E-rate program has been significantly updated for the first time since its inception in 1996. This is a good thing, and kudos to the Federal Communications Commission for taking a first step.

But the goal is to connect 99 percent of students to high-speed broadband. To do so, we need speed targets to make that goal meaningful, we need upgraded infrastructure to make that goal possible, and we need more funding to make that goal achievable. There’s clearly still a lot of work to be done.
