Congress wants an e-book reader for low-income kids

Congress wants an e-book reader for low-income kids:

"Markey's bill would also launch a pilot program to allow low-income students to buy residential broadband service. And it would extend E-Rate to community colleges—a great idea actually. Finally, the proposed law would require an adjustment to the current $2.25 billion cap on the E-Rate program, so funding would adjust with inflation. This is something that libraries and even the Bill Gates Foundation have been clamoring for."
