The federal government has historically established programs aimed at providing telecommunications services at reasonable rates to every person in the United States. The Telecommunications Act of 1996, which deregulated a wide range of telecommunications services, is the latest example. The Snowe-Rockefeller-Exon-Kerrey Amendment to this law is especially significant for schools and libraries because it makes equipment and access to the Internet/World Wide Web affordable for educators, students, and library users. This amendment establishes a $2.25 billion annual e-rate fund that allows eligible schools and libraries to purchase networking equipment, telecommunication services, internal connections, and Internet access at substantial discounts.
