PR NewswireNew Coalition Launches to Champion the Bulk Billing Arrangement Model for Internet ServicesA coalition named the Bulk Broadband Alliance (BBA) has been launched by several organizations including EducationSuperHighway and the National Multifamily Housing Council to advocate for the bulk billing model for internet services in response to the FCC's proposed regulations. This model, commonly used in larger multi-dwelling units, allows for significant cost savings and enhanced service quality for broadband and cable TV, impacting about 30% of the U.S. housing stock. The BBA aims to educate policymakers on the advantages of bulk billing and its role in promoting digital equity.AxiosEducationSuperHighway eyes free WiFi to solve the digital divideEducationSuperHighway unveiled a campaign proposing free WiFi in low-income apartment buildings to address broadband affordability. The nonprofit plans to deploy networks in Oakland, Calif., in 127 buildings at less than $100 per month for landlords. It aims to start in three to five cities within three to five years.PR NewswireWOW! Joins the FCC's Emergency Broadband Benefit Program to Support Communities in Need of Internet Access During the COVID-19 PandemicWOW! Internet, Cable & Phone announced its participation in the FCC's Emergency Broadband Benefit program, designed to help households struggling to afford internet service during the COVID-19 pandemic, with eligible families receiving a $50 per month discount toward broadband services. The company cited that 9.7 million students lack the internet connectivity needed to complete coursework at home. WOW! is also offering its own Internet for Education program and participating in ACA Connects and EducationSuperHighway's K-12 Bridge to Broadband initiative as part of its broader mission to address broadband inequities.PR NewswireAlthough States and Districts Have Acted Swiftly, More Is Needed to Close the Digital Divide, a New Analysis FindsA joint analysis by Boston Consulting Group, Common Sense, and EducationSuperHighway examines how US states and school districts have responded to the K-12 digital divide during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that while efforts have been made, 30% of public school students (15-16 million) still lack adequate internet connectivity or devices for distance learning. The report highlights best practices but emphasizes that further federal investment is needed, noting that CARES Act funding of $13.2 billion was insufficient to fully close the divide in any state. The findings are intended to guide state and federal policymakers in developing a sustainable national strategy for connecting underserved students.PR NewswireWOW! Joins ACA Connects and EducationSuperHighway Initiative to Support E-Learning Connectivity NeedsWOW! Internet, Cable & Phone announced its participation in ACA Connects and EducationSuperHighway's K-12 Bridge to Broadband program, which aims to provide internet access for students in low-income households engaged in remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, 2.3 million students across 62 school districts still lack the minimum FCC connectivity standard of 100 kbps per student, with nearly 90% of these districts able to upgrade without additional spending. The report calls on state leaders to adopt the FCC's 2018 goal of 1 Mbps per student to meet growing bandwidth demands for digital learning.Business InsiderMark Zuckerberg donates $20 million to give kids faster internet at schoolsMark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan announced a $20 million donation to Education Super Highway to improve school internet connections.
