FCC On Schools: Basic Connectivity Is Inadequate

Instead of hitting up the general public, where are companies like Time Warner and Comcast when we need faster internet for schools? I guess i doesn't matter, they would just find a way to pass the cost on to us anyway.

Wheeler on Monday laid out a plan to increase the so-called E-Rate fee on phone bills -- a longtime program that funds Internet access to schools and libraries -- by 16 cents a month, or just under $2 a year, as part of a more aggressive plan to get wider and faster Internet access to schools and libraries in the US. The current fee is 99 cents a month.
