On June 20, 2014 the FCC tentatively announced the agenda for their July 11, 2014 meeting. FCC Chairman Wheeler has already released a Fact Sheet that provides some detail of the new proposals.

The Commission will consider a Report and Order to modernize the E-Rate program by focusing support for WiFi connectivity for schools and libraries. The R&O seeks to close the WiFi gap, make E-Rate dollars go farther and deliver faster, simpler and more efficient applications and other processes.

The FCC Meeting will be broadcast live on the FCC website.
