What is E-Rate really worth to America's schools, libraries, and communities? SHLB has commissioned a new economic study from Dr. Paroma Sanyal of The Brattle Group to answer that question. Dr. Sanyal is a leading expert in broadband economics and a former Chief Economist of the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. The findings arrive at a critical moment for universal service, and they make a compelling case for the program's value.
