E-Rate is more of a "discounted" rate process than a license. I work for a mid-sized school district and apply for and are granted E-Rate funding every year. So from the end user stand point not as a transit ISP, E-Rate would not apply. Curtis Starnes Senior Network Administrator Granbury ISD 600 W.

Not familiar with the process, but look at E-rate if you want to provide service to schools, libraries and health providers. On 05/31/16 13:14 -0500, Lorell Hathcock wrote:
NANOG: Our owner has hired a consultant who insists that we should have an ISP license to operate in the United States. (Like they have in other countries like Germany and in Africa where he has extensive personal experience.) I am asking him to tell me which license we should have because I don't know of a license that we are required to have to route IP traffic to end customers. I am familiar with CLEC status filed with our state. But it is not a requirement to pass traffic. He is suggesting COALS with which I am completely unfamiliar. Can anyone tell me if there is a Texas state and/or USA Federal license for a small operator to pass IP traffic from the internet to end users (commercial and/or residential). I am aware that there are some CALEA requirements of ISPs that seem to kick in once a CALEA request is made, but is that different from a license.
