The Telecommunications Act of 1996
contemplates that discounts on eligible services shall be provided
to schools and libraries, and that service providers shall seek
reimbursement for the amount of the discounts. FCC Forms 473 and
474 facilitate the reimbursement process. FCC Form 472 allows
providers to confirm that they are actually providing the
discounted services to eligible entities.
