Hotspot Expansion: E-Rate Solutions for the Homework Gap
December 12, 2023 @1pm
The FCC's recent proposal to extend E-rate support for hot spot lending programs in libraries and schools promises to revolutionize internet access for patrons and students nationwide. However, divergent perspectives within Congress raise questions about the FCC's legal authority and the proposal's technology neutrality. Join us in this insightful webinar as we delve into the practical and legal complexities surrounding this critical initiative to address the pervasive 'homework gap.' Explore differing viewpoints, potential solutions, and the future landscape of accessible high-speed internet beyond campus confines.
