- Schools and Libraries Program: Update on State-Level Funding by Category of Service. Report to the Honorable John D. Rockefeller IV, U.S. Senate. Czerwinski, Stanley J. Access to Information Electronic Equipment Elementary Secondary Education Federal Aid Federal Programs Internet Library Funding Public Libraries School Funds Tables (Data) Telecommunications This report provides state-level data on the amount of funds committed to the following three categories of eligible services for each of the first three years of the Federal Communications Commission's e-rate program for schools and libraries: (1) telecommunications service, such as local, long-distance, and international telephone service, as well as high-speed data links (such as T-1 lines); (2) Internet access, such as dial-up Internet access and e-mail services; and (3) internal connections, such as telecommunications wiring, routers, switches, and network servers that are necessary to transport information to individual classrooms. In addition, a preliminary estimate of the amount of e-rate funding requested for the fourth program year is included. Findings show that funds were sufficient for telecommunications service and Internet access but not for internal connections. A table providing annual data by state for each category is appended.
