The North American Catholic Programming Education Foundation (NACEPF) and Mobile Beacon submitted comments on January 16, 2024, in response to the Federal Communications Commission in the Matter of Addressing the Homework Gap through the E-Rate Program.
NACEPF and Mobile Beacon strongly support the NPRM’s proposal to extend E-Rate funding eligibility to Wi-Fi hotspots and similar devices and services and urge the Commission to adopt an inclusive approach to E-Rate funding eligibility to close the digital divide for students, school staff, and library patrons who lack adequate internet access at home.
