E-rate Benchmarks and Data 

The FCC is gathering and analyzing a range of data related to E-rate to set targets, inform what changes are needed, and make fact-based decisions about the future of this vitally important program.  This panel will discuss the current state (and limitations) of data related to broadband capacity, as well as E-rate program data. Research to be shared will include brand-new analysis by Funds for Learning of the most recent E-rate applications, as well as recent data gathered through the Edge Initiative and the Public Libraries and the Internet survey.
