Its up to the states to distribute funds.. Here in Texas they decided to screw ISPs and put in their OWN PROPRIETARY NETWORK (which is NOT ALLOWED according to the rules listed by the FCC about universal service), so it didn't do us squat to help our local schools design their network... they ended up using *MY* design to screw me over... go figure - its our government at work. I highly reccomend if you work with schools on this stuff, GET CONTRACTS FIRST..
