<p class=MsoNormal>This morning the FCC passed the order to update the e-Rate program
and made some very positive changes. I have included some links to the press
releases from the FCC that include a very high level summary of the changes. I
am anxiously awaiting the order itself so that some of the details can be made
clear. At this time, we have SOME of the WHAT’S, but almost none of the
HOW’S. I hope that the order will be released today so that we can figure
out what some of these things mean. For example, they want to streamline the
application process, but there is almost no information at this time about how
that will be done. We heard about eliminating tech plans for P1 applicants in
the meeting today, but we do not yet know if there will be form changes or
other procedural changes that affect the application process. Please bear with
me as I await the order and take some time to analyze it. I do not want to
presume anything and give erroneous information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here are the links to the press release and copies of the
comments by the Chairman and Commissioners.<o:p></o:p></p>
