On this episode of Connected Nation, we’re diving into proposed changes to the federal E-rate program — and what those changes could mean for schools, libraries, and the millions of students who rely on internet access to learn.
Our guest, Mark Colwell, Director of Broadband Operations at Mission Telecom, brings years of experience in federal and state broadband policy to the table. He explains how efforts to scale back E-Rate funding — particularly for Wi-Fi hotspots and off-campus access — could widen the “homework gap” and leave low-income families behind.
Learn why this issue matters right now, how it ties into national conversations about digital equity, and what Mission Telecom is doing to support schools and libraries as they brace for uncertainty.
