I do want to acknowledge the bipartisan effort and support for the E-Rate Program by Chairman Rockefeller and Maine's original E-Rate champion, Olympia Snowe.

The E-Rate program has fundamentally transformed education in this country.

By the end of this decade, I believe that every school in America should have 1 gigabit of connectivity.
