Olympia Snowe: “It served as a model in the development of innovative applications that makes data readily available to decisionmakers…”

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

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

We need to create E-Rate 2.0.
