(Telecompaper) The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that the agency will invest an additional USD 2 billion over the next two years to support broadband networks in United States' schools and libraries. This represents a doubling of investment in broadband and will connect 20 million students in at least 15,000 schools to broadband access. Funding for new investments in broadband will come from reprioritising existing E-Rate funds to focus on high-capacity internet connectivity, increasing efficiency and modernising management of the E-Rate programme.
