    The FCC contacted Net Literacy to further discuss the 40 page filing submitted earlier this month. 

    In summary, Net Literacy recommended that a digital literacy corps be established, Executive Order 12999 be strengthened so that schools receive a “right of first refusal” for all computers deemed surplus by the Federal Government, and that the National Broadband Plan provide priority to the families of K-12 students on free or assisted lunch programs and without a computer at home when allocating hardware and broadband connectivity resources.

    The Ex Parte filing can be viewed by clicking on this link.
