But that's just the beginning. In response to the FCC's ruling, the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) of the Universal Service Administrative Co., the agency that administers the eRate, pulled an additional 312 applications from its web site. The agency said these additional applications, which came from schools and libraries around the country, violated the same statute upheld by the FCC's Oklahoma ruling. ==> For the complete story, go to: http://www.eschoolnews.org/technews1 Electronic records transfers hold promise, pose problems for schools Links: Federal Communication Commission http://www.fcc.gov MasterMind Internet Services Inc. http://www.edumaster.net Schools and Libraries Division http://www.sl.universalservice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Educational CyberPlayGround <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com> New York Times, USA Today, MSNBC Hot Site Pick Awards [DUC]Diversity University Collaboratory ISSN:1529-7861 <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/diversity.html>
