FCC Seeks Comment on Proposed Eligible Services List For the E-Rate Program

The Wireline Competition Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission seeks comment on proposed eligible services list (ESL) for the schools and libraries universal support mechanism (more commonly known as the E-rate program) for funding year 2016. They invite stakeholders to comment on any aspect of the proposed ESL, and particularly welcome comments based on applicants and other interested parties experience with using the ESLs for recent funding years. The FCC has identified the more significant changes between the funding year 2015 ESL and the proposed funding year 2016 ESL, and seek comment on whether we should adopt or modify those changes.
