Sin embargo, los estudios indican que hasta 16 millones de ni\u00f1os en los Estados Unidos carecen de acceso a Internet en el hogar y no pueden participar en el aprendizaje en l\u00ednea. Estos estudiantes provienen de manera desproporcionada de comunidades de color, hogares de bajos ingresos y \u00e1reas rurales.<\/p>\n<p>El Programa E-Rate es, y ha sido durante m\u00e1s de dos d\u00e9cadas, una fuente esencial de financiamiento para conectar las escuelas y bibliotecas K-12 de la naci\u00f3n a Internet. La FCC tiene una autoridad clara y fondos disponibles bajo el programa E-Rate para proporcionar conexiones en los hogares de los estudiantes, que, debido a que las escuelas han tenido que cerrar sus puertas, se han convertido en aulas de facto. Sin embargo, la FCC ha interpretado de manera limitada su capacidad de actuar durante la emergencia actual, dejando innecesariamente a millones de ni\u00f1os en riesgo de atrasarse en sus estudios.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s de Wyden y Merkley, otros que firmaron la carta fueron el l\u00edder de la minor\u00eda Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) y los senadores Edward J.
