Washinton, DC - July 19, 2024 – Today, the FCC has made a groundbreaking decision to expand the E-rate program, allowing #schools and #libraries to use E-rate funding for off-premises Wi-Fi hotspots and wireless internet services. This move is key to bridging the digital divide, ensuring students and community members can access essential educational resources beyond school and library walls.

Key highlights:
Off-Premises Use: Schools and libraries can now fund Wi-Fi hotspots for home use.
Enhanced Connectivity: Aimed at supporting low-income communities with critical internet access.
