The Commission adopted rules providing
support for all telecommunications services, internet access, and
internal connection for all eligible schools and libraries. In an
effort to implement these provisions, the Commission has developed
FCC forms 470 and 471. To participate in the program, schools and

schools and libraries that have ordered telecommunications
services, internet access, and internal connections.
