2 Billion

The $2 billion investment will allow students to use modern learning

tools that requre wi-fi access such as Smartboards and Ipads.

According to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, the grant will funnel its resources to "deliver 75 percent more WiFi funding for rural schools

and 60 percent for urban ones".

In an effort to modernize internet connectivity in under-funded classrooms, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to invest $2 billion over the next two years to push the Obama administration's ConnectED initiative which

aims to bring high speed internet and wi-fi access to 99% of America's students. Internet connectivity in the United States currently lags behind in comparison to

countries like South Korea where all schools currently enjoy high speed connectivity and educators plan to phase out textbooks by 2016.
