Olympia Snowe: “If we ever want to harness the wind off of our shores, it has to be through an investment tax credit.”

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

We would not have connectivity and all that it brings to our schools and libraries if it were not for E-Rate.

In closing, libraries are vital community technology hubs, and we simply cannot allow inadequate bandwidth to be the limiting factor for what our students and our nations can achieve.

We need to create E-Rate 2.0.
