The FCC will stick with its 2019 decision to license wireless spectrum historically reserved for educational institutions to private carriers building 5G networks.

A new House bill aims to increase technology subsidies so schools can provide more Wi-Fi hotspots, modems, routers and internet-connected devices for students.

The E-Rate program helps schools provide internet access, but education stakeholders say cybersecurity services should also be included.

If created, the commission would funnel $20.4 million in subsidies to broadband infrastructure projects in underserved rural areas.

Telecommunications providers will soon compete for licenses for the 2.5 GHz spectrum to build out the next generation of their wireless networks.

E-Rate recipients came out in record numbers for an annual survey conducted by Funds For Learning, which found sustained demand for bandwidth.

The department wrote the commission a letter asking it to maintain the Educational Broadband Service's "educational nature."

The Digital Equity Act aims to expand internet access to millions more Americans, providing new opportunities to succeed in school and the workforce.
