I'm not sure I understand why this is so important.
I'm an engineering grad student, and the only thing I've ever used high speed internet for (that's school related) is downloaded 300 MB video lectures. Instead of having to wait an hour or so for it to download, I waited for a minute. But I could have easily filled that hour with other activities.
I'm all for bettering internet infrastructure and getting higher speeds to everyone, but let's be honest, this isn't really doing that much to better education for students.
It won't. It's a feel good program to make people think it's worthy.
There are much much better ways to spend money on Education(which we already seem to spend enough)
