"E-Rate" support, provides affordable telecommunications and Internet access services to connect schools and libraries to the Internet. Service providers that provide discounts on eligible services to eligible schools, school districts, libraries, and consortia of these entities are eligible for this support. The videos that you will see, as a part of this course, were made during the training sessions offered by the Universal Service Administrative Company in Orlando, Florida, during the fall of 2007. Training sessions were carefully planned and presented by experts in order to provide schools, school districts, libraries and consortia timely, accurate, and up-to-date information necessary to comply with eligibility requirements and take steps to use the supported services effectively.
