"7/11/2014 - FCC Adopts Landmark Modernization Order

The Federal Communications Commission adopted a Modernization Order that will expand Wi-Fi networks in schools and libraries across America. The new rules are the next major step in a comprehensive modernization of the E-rate Program, the first such effort since the program's creation 18 years ago. The program increases focus on the largest and most urgent need-closing the Wi-Fi gap-while transitioning support away from legacy technologies to 21st Century broadband connectivity, ensuring E-rate Program money is spent smartly, and improving program administration. The reform will expand Wi-Fi to more than 10 million students in 2015 alone.
