Background
This e-supplement provides information on participation in the Federal Communications Commission’s
(FCC) Schools and Libraries Program Universal Service Support Mechanism—commonly known as the E-rate program—which makes funding
available to schools and libraries for telecommunications services, Internet access, and internal
wiring and components needed for data transmission. The e-supplement includes (1) our analysis of the rates at
which eligible schools and libraries participate in the E-rate program and characteristics of
participants and nonparticipants and (2) the questions asked and a summary of the answers given
in a survey we conducted of participating schools and libraries.
