The article discusses a response by the American Library Association (ALA) to potential rule changes to the federal E-rate program, which funds improvements to internet access in schools and libraries. Possible rule changes would allow expansion of the program to include teacher training or expansion of eligibility beyond K-12 education. The statement says current demand for internet access exceeds the funding, thus funding should not be used for additional services unless the cap is raised.
