FCC Commits More Than $40M in Additional ECF

The FCC committed more than $40 million in additional Emergency Connectivity Fund support Thursday. The new funding will support more than 275 schools, 15 libraries and five consortiums from the third application filing window, said a news release. “This program has equipped millions of students with the digital tools they need for afterschool homework and connecting with teachers,” said Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel: “Today’s funding round is another step in our ongoing work to close the homework gap.”
