On February 3, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rescinded a report issued two weeks earlier that examined the progress of E‐rate since the modernization orders of 2014 were passed. The American Library Association rightly decried this act as censorship, designed to obscure the public record.
To that end, and in the public interest, I am making the January 2017 E-rate Modernization Progress Report (DOC-343099A1.pdf) available on this site in its entirety. In interpreting this report, note that the FCC itself has declared that “the report will have no legal or other effect or meaning going forward.” I provide it in the interest of preserving the public record.
