News: House probes school Net access program
The U.S. House of Representatives is accelerating its investigation into a troubled federal program that subsidizes Internet access for schools and libraries.

"Targeted audits of funding beneficiaries over the first two years identified more than $10 million in inappropriate funding disbursements," wrote Tauzin and Rep. James Greenwood, R-Penn., who heads the investigation subcommittee. "Recently, we learned there are at least 30 active federal and state investigations of either vendors or recipients of e-rate funds around the United States--involving, in aggregate, more than $200 million of questionable funding."

The FCC said it was preparing a response to the letter.
