The Federal Communications Commission continues to dole out emergency connectivity funding for schools and libraries around the country, with a 13th wave of funding that totals $37 million. Funding from the program subsidizes the purchase of both equipment and broadband services.
Next week, the FCC will open its third window for funding applications (April 28 through May 13), for equipment and services that will be delivered or received in the upcoming school year. The agency said in a statement that, given what it has seen in past filings and the amount of funds left, this will “likely be the last opportunity” for schools and libraries to participate in the program before the funds are depleted.
