The Future of the E-Rate Program: Bidding Portal and "Top-to-Bottom" Reform
Thursday June 25, 2026 11:45am - 12:15pm CDT
Meeting Room 4

The E-Rate Program is undergoing significant changes that could impact applicants, service providers, and consultants alike. This session will explore the FCC's newly adopted E-Rate Bidding Portal, including what it is, how it works, and what stakeholders can expect moving forward. We will also provide an overview of the recently released Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) focused on E-Rate reform and discuss the potential implications for the future of the program. Join us for an informative discussion on these important developments and what they may mean for the E-Rate community.
