WASHINGTON, August 9, 2024 –The Molak family, already engaged in a legal battle with  the Federal Communications Commission over its decision to fund  Wi-Fi service on school buses, is once again challenging the agency's authority.

Maurine and Matthew Molak have petitioned the FCC to reconsider its decision last month to allow schools and libraries to use E-rate funds for off-premises Wi-Fi hotspots  They have argued that the FCC has overstepped its legal bounds, a claim they are also pursuing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit regarding Wi-Fi on school buses.
