Olympia Snowe: “I would like to respectfully call on you both to lend your strong support to the Marketplace Fairness Act.”

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.

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.
