Coalition Letter Regarding E-Rate support for Wi-Fi Hot Spots for Remote Learning, Addressing the Homework Gap Through the E-Rate Program, WC Docket No. 21-31

Abstract

Our organizations strongly support the FCC’s initiative, with one important clarification that we discuss below. The proposal to provide financial support to allow schools and libraries to extend their broadband service from the school or library building to students and library patrons at home is a cost-effective way to bring high-speed internet access to low-income families and students who cannot otherwise afford it.
