Abstract:
The Commission adopted rules providing support for all telecommunications services, internet access, and internal connection for all eligible schools and libraries. In an effort to implement these provisions, the Commission has developed FCC forms 470 and 471. To participate in the program, schools and libraries must submit a description of the services desired to the Administrator via FCC form 470. FCC form 471 is submitted by schools and libraries that have ordered telecommunications services, internet access, and internal connections.
