Dear NJ E-rate Applicants,

The FCC has released its much awaited Order which changes the E-rate program to be more suitable for the 21st century. Please visit the following links (in PDF format) to the News Release and the Order itself. The national library E-rate community will be discussing the ramifications of this Order in the coming days and weeks and I will be sure to pass on any information I receive to you.

FCC Enables High-Speed, Affordable Broadband for Schools and Libraries.

News Release: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-301649A1.pdf

Order: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-175A1.pdf

I will be cross-posting this message to the NJ-PUB-LIBS listserv, but if you know of anyone in a neighboring library who files for E-rate and is not a part of this listserv please pass this information along and suggest that they subscribe to the NJ E-rate listserv. If you have any questions please let me know.
