FCC Commits Nearly $7M in Additional ECF

The FCC awarded nearly $7 million in additional Emergency Connectivity Fund support Wednesday. The new funding will support about 110 schools and school districts, nine libraries and library systems, and one consortium, said a news release. "Now that Labor Day has come and gone and schools are back in session, students everywhere need access to broadband connections and digital tools to succeed," said Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
