It’s time for “the next level” of E-rate, said Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., in a Sunday op-ed for The Metro West Daily News (http://bit.ly/1fZq5Yn). As a member of the House during the passage of the 1996 Telecom Act, Markey helped create E-rate. He praised President Barack Obama’s proposed expansion of E-rate, in an initiative known as ConnectED, and said there’s a “need to focus on wireless access in schools and libraries and enabling students to learn using the latest technologies.”
