Abstract
In this document, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) adopts, on an emergency basis, temporary rules to provide immediate relief to schools that participate in the E-Rate program as they continue to contend with the ongoing disruptions caused by the pandemic. These temporary rules make available additional E-Rate funding to schools in funding year 2020 to purchase additional bandwidth needed to meet the unanticipated and increased demand for on- campus connectivity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
