Please rescind the FCC's decision to deny all Priority 2 funding under the E-Rate program.

The FCC must recognize that digital learning requires a broadband connection to schools and libraries but also the infrastructure within the site that can deliver the bandwidth without diluting that speed. Spending money on bandwidth without adequate cabling and equipment is wasteful. Schools and libraries lack the infrastructure to use faster connections. The decision to deny Priority 2 E-Rate funds guarantees the fastest superhighway to nowhere! On one hand the FCC champions the idea of hi-speed broadband as a basic 21st Century tool. On the other hand, they stop it at the schools' and libraries' front door. P2 funds that which carries the Internet to the students, teachers, and library patrons. We ask that the Administration and the FCC reconsider eliminating Priority 2 E-Rate funds.
