The Digital Promise is a proposal to establish a major educational trust
fund that will help transform education, training and lifelong learning to
meet the needs of the nation's new knowledge-based economy. The educational
trust fund (the Digital Opportunity Investment Trust, or "DO IT") would be
financed by billions of dollars in revenue from auctions of unused,
publicly-owned telecommunications spectrum, as mandated by Congress. The
project proposes to do for education in the U.S. what the National Science
Foundation does for science, the National Institutes of Health do for
health, and DARPA does for defense. It also recommends regional digital
resource centers to support cultural institutions and help in the
digitization of documents and other artifacts.
DO IT would enable the nation's schools, universities, libraries and museums
to reach outside their walls to millions of people in the U.S. and
throughout the world. It would support research and development of new
educational models and prototypes, taking full advantage of the Internet and
other new digital telecommunications technologies. This proposal is in the
spirit of the great American educational innovations of previous centuries
such as the GI Bill of 1948 and the Land Grant Colleges Act of 1862 that
helped transform the nation's economy and strengthen its democracy.

Conference 2004.
