Here Comes the E-Rate (Egads!) Article 3

This article is a gem from 1997--a full ten years ago. When talking about technology, going back ten years is usually very obsolete stuff. The FCC ruling which provided over 2 billion dollars to schools to fund their technology programs was passed back in the Clinton Era of 1997. I wonder if over the last 10 years that money has shrunk, gotten bigger or disappeared completely. The last 7 years has definitely not been good for school funding. We've since started a war and it is very expensive. I would like to know if this e-rate business is still around in some way or another.
