Congress Votes to End E-Rate Freeze
Congress unanimously passed a bill December 8 offering the Universal
Service Administration Company (USAC) a one-year exemption from
the Anti-Deficiency Act (ADA). The bill, H.R. 5419, now awaits
President Bush's approval.
USAC, which administers the e-rate, was forced to hold e-rate
applications several months ago because of accounting provisions
in the ADA that prevent government entities from promising funds
they do not possess. Since then, thousands of schools and
libraries have been awaiting a resolution that would free up the
millions of dollars e-rates normally provide them for telephone
and Internet services.
