FCC Staff Updates FY 2022 E-rate Eligible Services List

The FCC Wireline Bureau made changes to its eligible services list for FY 2022, said an order listed in Monday’s Daily Digest. It clarified that E-rate funding applicants may request equipment and software together or separately under the “eligible broadband internal connections” section. It provided guidance on equipment and services covered by the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act. The bureau declined to address requests that cybersecurity services and Wi-Fi services for school buses be added to the list.
