FCC Likely to Vote on ECF Program Rules Mid-May, Rosenworcel Says

The FCC will likely vote in mid-May on rules for the emergency connectivity fund, said acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel during a virtual panel Tuesday with Allvanza, the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council, and OCA Asian Pacific American Advocates (see 2104060042). "We're going to develop a program based in part on the work we've done for decades with the E-rate program," Rosenworcel said: "We're going to borrow some of the tools from that plan and figure out how we're going to expand it."
