Book excerpt: Under language enacted in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a discount on telecommunications services is being implemented for schools and libraries as part of universal service. In general, universal service seeks to ensure the availability of telecommunications services for all consumers, including low-income consumers as well as those in rural and high cost areas. The universal service discount for schools and libraries, known as the E-rate, is now in its third award cycle. The E-rate has an annual limit of $2.25 billion in discounts. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) committed a total of $2.25 billion for the second year; it has also set the third year funding level at $2.25 billion. Applicants for the third year have requested discounts of $4.72 billion. Given concerns about various aspects of the program by some Members of Congress, telecommunications companies, and others, the future of the program remains in flux. This report provides background information on the E-rate, focusing specifically on schools and educational issues involving the E-rate. It will be revised to reflect any substantive changes in the program. For legislative activity on the E-rate, see CRS Issue Brief IB98040, Telecommunications Discounts for Schools and Libraries: The “E-Rateâ€ŗ Program and Controversies. For background on technology in precollege education, see CRS Report 96-178, Information Technology and Elementary and Secondary Education: Current Status and Federal Support.

Book excerpt: Modernization of the Schools and Libraries E-rate Program and Connect America Fund (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Modernization of the Schools and Libraries E-rate Program and Connect America Fund (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) takes the next critical steps to modernize the Universal Service Fund's Schools and Libraries program, known as E-rate. Building on the E-rate Modernization Order, the Commission adopted in July, the improvements to the program that the Commission adopts in this Order seek to close the high-speed connectivity gap between rural schools and libraries and their urban and suburban counterparts, and provide sufficient and certain funding for high-speed connectivity to and within all eligible schools and libraries. The Commission takes these actions to ensure the continued success of the E-rate program as it transitions from supporting legacy services to focusing on meeting the high-speed broadband connectivity needs of schools and libraries consistent with the recently adopted program goals and long-term connectivity targets. In the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission grants in part the petitions for reconsideration of the areas designated as urban for purposes of the E-rate program. The Commission also denies petitions for reconsideration of the document retention period, the phase out of support for telephone components and other services, and funding commitments that cover multiple years. At the same time, the Commission clarifies our cost effectiveness test for individual data plans and the cost allocation rules for circuits carrying voice services.
