Cybersecurity Coalition: FCC Should Place DNS Systems on E-rate Eligible Services List

The Cybersecurity Coalition urged the FCC to include stand-alone domain name system (DNS) and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) services on the list of eligible services for E-rate funding recipients, per an ex parte filing posted Monday in docket 13-184. The coalition asked Wireline Bureau staff to place the services under category 1 and category 2. DNS and DHCP are "foundational to function connectivity and resilience for schools and libraries," the group said (see 2409110053).
