US FCC chair wants to end government subsidies for school bus WiFi use
The chair of the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday proposed ending subsidies for wireless use on school buses after they were initially created under a COVID-era program.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr asked the commission to reverse policies adopted under then-President Joe Biden to allow subsidies for WiFi use on school buses and for wireless hotspots that could be checked out of libraries for online access. Carr said the proposal “will end the FCC’s illegal funding unsupervised screen time for young kids.”
