Dear Member,
The Calyx Institute relies on the Educational Broadband Service (EBS)
spectrum to provide unlimited wireless internet to members like you.
However, after nearly 20 years of taking no action to expand EBS
availibility, the Federal Communications Commisison is discussing how to
license the rest of EBS.
Can you ask Congress to preserve the education requirement for EBS licenses?
<https://www.calyxinstitute.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=37&qid=6118>
We've heard from many of you that our wireless membership benefit program
has been crucial to keeping you online and connected to the Internet. We're
working with our friends and partners at Voqal to ensure that EBS is used
to help even more communities, families, and individuals are connected for
decades to come.
*Your current internet service is not at risk.* This is about expanding EBS
availability to other parts of the country where it has been unavailable
since the middle of the 1990s.
Please reach out to your member of Congress through this link to ensure
that this public resource services its highest and best use – connecting
students, families and communities that would otherwise lack internet
access. You can help by telling the FCC and your Congressional
representatives to Save EBS here

Thanks!
