Purpose of the SHLB Coalition

Posted Thu, 2009-10-15 10:53

The SHLB Coalition was formed on June 11, 2009 to support the provisions of the American Recover and Reinvestment Act that specifically call for improved access to broadband by community anchor institutions. The SHLB Coalition has been working actively with the Obama Administration, with Capitol Hill, and with the FCC to formulate policies that will promote the availability of broadband services to schools, libraries and health care clinics and hospitals all across the country.
