The upgrade brings changes to the way the federal E-rate program will benefit Arkansas. While school districts will still be able to request E-rate discounts on certain eligible purchases, discounts on broadband accessed via APSCN will be requested and received by DIS on behalf of the state. After accounting for E-rate discounts, it is expected that broadband over APSCN, at speeds up to 200 times faster than ever before, will come at no additional cost to state taxpayers.
