E-Rate Call for Success Stories The Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant (TRIG) E-Rate Activity is searching for success stories. Specifically, we would like to know if E-Rate has helped your library go from low/no connectivity to being a connected space or having Wi-Fi. If you would like to share your story so it could possibly be highlighted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and brought to the attention of the FCC Commissioner, please complete the Google form below. If you have questions please contact Ann-Marie Mapes at mapesa@michigan.gov<mailto:mapesa@michigan.gov> or 517-335-2775.
