from the site I gave you

SPIN # for you means a school can file e-rate to get money from the erate 
people (think is the state)

wasn't hard, just took a little time, file this form, wait a month, file 
that form, every year, file a form.  etc.  not hard.  Forms are only 1 or 2 
pages.  not hard or time consuming, just something more to do.  We don't 
file erate for the schools.  There is definitely a market for that.  If you 
come across a school/library in Illinois that isn't filing for erate, you 
can make some money off filing the paperwork for the school.  That gets 
allot harder and time consuming.  Many schools use someone just for their 
erate filing

For schools and libraries.  erate/SPIN is all I am aware of

Getting clients.  Hasn't been helpful in GETTING clients.  required to keep 
current clients.  We also don't heavily market, so proactive sales may have 
a different point of view.

Savings depends on how poor the town is.  School/Library reimbursement is 
based on school lunch program in the town
reimbursement is based on how many kids in the school eat free/reduced 
lunch.  around 50% of kids eat free/reduced =  State pays 75% of 
communications bills. (or whatever else they get qualified for)
