It says: "Macomb ISD should be entitled to E-rate funding for its Internet connections at a rate associated with the least expensive of the duplicative services." <BR/><BR/>The footnote to that sentence cites paragraph 25 of the Fifth Report and Order, which says that if services are found to be duplicative, the cost of the more expensive of the two services will be recovered.<BR/><BR/>The Fifth Report and Order (and the Eligible Services List) clearly says that duplicative services are not eligible, and only the less expensive service will be discounted. The Macomb order says duplicative services are OK, and we'll discount both, but we'll only fund based on the cheaper of the two.<BR/><BR/>Oops. I don't think the Macomb Order should have any reference to "duplicative" services (since having more than one Internet connection is not necessarily duplicative).On-Techhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423450823765892451noreply@blogger.com
