The new version simply says "educational institutions". I'd like to suggest libraries should be added as well. Libraries and educational institutions historically are an important focal points for ensuring access to various services by broad segments of society. Ensuring everyone in society has access to education and information, are their primary missions. Ensuring everyone, especially the disadvantaged in their communities, has access to the Internet is frequently becoming an important strategy for them and critical to achieving success within their primary missions.
Therefore, I believe it is important to, as broadly as possible, include both libraries and educational institutions, regardless of how they are organized. Thanks.
