Lucas Fights For School Rights To Broadband
 Posted By Mike on July 7, 2008
George Lucas testified today before a hearing of the House Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee in order to urge lawmakers that high-speed internet access for schools and libraries should be a priority.
From Broadcastingcable.com:
"At a House Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee hearing Tuesday on universal broadband service and its funding, "The Future of Universal Service: To Whom, By Whom, For What, and How Much?," Lucas said Congress needs to plan for the kind of content coming down the pipe that will need higher bandwidth and to ensure that schools and libraries are ready to handle it.
Lucas was testifying in his capacity as founder of the George Lucas Educational Foundation.
Saying that the world's knowledge is now online in a way that it can't be accessed through textbooks anymore, Lucas added that while he applauded the discounts provided for wiring schools and libraries via the E-Rate program, the goal should be to make those connections free."

Thanks to our friend Eric G. for the heads up!
