The FCC committed more than $34 million in additional Emergency Connectivity Fund support Wednesday to applicants from the third filing window. The new funding will support more than 250 schools, 15 libraries and two consortiums, said a news release. About $6.5 billion of the $7.1 billion program has been spent to date. "As we start the new year, we continue our work to make sure kids have the digital tools they need for after-school homework and connecting with teachers,” said Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
