Olympia Snowe: “We have to do everything we can to extend assistance to you.”

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

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.

Due in no small part to the leadership of Senators Rockefeller and Snowe, the E-Rate program from its inception focused on providing high-capacity transmission services to libraries and schools.

We need to create E-Rate 2.0.
