3. The Schools and Libraries program, also called the "E-Rate program,"
makes telephone and Internet access service more affordable for
schools and libraries in America.
The program provides discounts to assist most schools and libraries
in the United States (and U.S. territories) to obtain affordable
telecommunications and Internet access.
E-Rate is administered by the Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) under the direction of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).
Provides 2 million to schools and libraries each year.
The Schools and Libraries Universal Service support mechanism was
established as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 with the
express purpose of providing affordable access to
telecommunications services for all eligible schools and libraries,
particularly those in rural and economically disadvantaged areas.
4. How is it funded?
It is one of four support programs funded through a Universal
Service fee charged to companies that provide interstate and/or
international telecommunications services.
Contributions from telecommunications companies provide
discounts of 20-90% on the cost of telecommunications, Internet
access, and network wiring within library and school buildings.
The discounts are paid directly to the companies that provide
libraries and schools with these services.
