Olympia Snowe: “And when is this system going to be established?”

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.

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.

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