ALA Fights for Hotspot Lending and School Bus Wi-Fi

ALA announced the following:

The Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, the American Library Association (ALA), EdLiNC and the Homework Gap Coalition submitted a joint letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging the Commission to protect two vital programs that expand internet access for students and library patrons: the Hotspot Lending Program and School Bus Wi-Fi. The letter responds to the last-minute addition of both items on the agenda for its September 30 meeting, when the FCC is expected to overturn the programs, despite the proven impact of hotspots and existing funding through the federal E-Rate program.

For more information, read the press release.
