[OPLINTECH] E-Rate changes

[Stephen Hedges]

The Federal Communication Commission’s Sixth Report and Order (FCC 
10-175) that was released on September 28 created some buzz because it 
includes the ability to E-Rate “dark fiber” for the first time. But 
closer review reveals many other changes that may significantly change 
the upcoming E-Rate process for libraries. We STRONGLY encourage 
libraries that E-Rate anything to register for one of the Form 470 
workshops that OPLIN and the State Library are sponsoring at locations 
around the state on November 8 --

today's OPLIN 4cast (http://www.oplin.org/4cast/) for more information.
