Olympia Snowe: “I think that is actually really important as kind of a long-term strategy here.”

We need to create E-Rate 2.0.

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.

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.

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