Joint SETDA and CoSN statement on FCC Rural Telecommunications Offer

SETDA and CoSN commend the FCC for acting this week to help rural telecommunications providers offer affordable broadband to qualified students. The agency’s decision to revise tariffs for rural providers is a helpful action at this historic moment when far too many rural students lack access to online learning.

More steps must be taken, however, to ensure that all students have access to broadband during the pandemic. CoSN and SETDA renew their call for the FCC and Congress to work collaboratively to address this urgent national need, so that no students fall behind.
