Extractions: A Strategic Dialog on Innovative Approaches to Promote Universal Access to Advanced Telecommunications Capabilities OVERALL OBJECTIVE: Speed Advanced Services Deployment To Under-Served Areas And Customers Through Coordinated Action Among Federal, State, Local, Industry And Non-Profit Initiatives And Defining Policies, Mechanisms And Resource Allocation Needs To Support Universal Access To Such Services. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("Act") requires that all Americans have access to both basic and advanced telecommunications services, that are reasonably comparable in price and quality to those services provided in urban areas. The task of providing rural, low-income, disabled, and other under-served populations with affordable access to advanced services is particularly challenging. A Joint Conference, as authorized in Section 410(b) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. § 410(1982), can respond, in part, to obligations assigned to state and federal regulators under § 706 of the Act. 47 USC § 706 (1996). The FCC has completed its first NOI and report concerning the availability of advanced services required by § 706(b). A Joint Conference can complement the FCC's actions to date and focus on the requirements in § 706(a) for the FCC and "each state commission . . . [to] encourage the deployment on a reasonable and timely basis of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans (including, in particular, elementary and secondary schools and classrooms) by utilizing, in a manner consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity, price cap regulation, regulatory forbearance, measures that promote competition in the local telecommunications market, or other regulating methods that remove barriers to infrastructure investment."

Extractions: Books Magazines Music Maps Out of Print Books British Books British Magazines British Music Keywords: Whenever the issue of "school choice" comes up for discussion, somebody in-evitably will claim that the private sector can't be trusted to serve the kids who are, for one reason or another, difficult to educate. Government schools are depicted as democratic, egalitarian institutions that take on all comers, including the toughest cases. Private alternatives are alleged to be inherently elitist organizations that "skim the cream" and leave the challenging kids to their courageous and altruistic public counterparts. This perspec-tive is pure myth. The fact is that children who are troubled, neglected, learning or emotionally disabled, or otherwise have special needs are often not well served in the conventional public school setting. They need help from non-governmental sources, from people who know that you don't have to be a civil servant to be either civil or a servant. The private sector, including private sectarian schools, religious schools, nonpublic agencies, and home-schools, offers a wide variety of education programs for this difficult-toeducate population. When public schools or agencies cannot serve a particular student, they sometimes contract with a private-sector body to do the job. The Directory for Exceptional Children lists roughly 3,000 special-education schools and facilities in the private sector nationwide. Their costs of educating a student vary widely, depending in large part on the nature of the disability category served, and may also include the cost of medical care and transportation.
