Olympia Snowe: “The question is, what's our return on investment? Are we clearly safer? Yes, we are. But, at what cost?”

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.

I just encourage all of us to think about children, about the problems they face, and about our responsibility to help them navigate their way through those waters.

We need to create E-Rate 2.0.

What is needed is honest, fact-based discussion and a genuine bipartisan commitment to solutions.
