NEBSA.org
NEBSA.org was created in 2007 to coincide with the change of the name of this association from the National ITFS Association (NIA), to the National EBS Association (NEBSA).
This change is a direct result of rulings made by the FCC in 2005 which changed the nomenclature of the spectrum used for Instructional Television Fixed Services (ITFS) to Educational Broadband Services (EBS).

NEBSA.orgThe FCC has ruled that the
EBS Spectrum is for education. It is this Rule making which led to the revision of the FCC Rules, the realignment of the EBS spectrum to facilitate two-way digital wireless broadband services, and the FCC’s change of name for the spectrum from ITFS to EBS (Educational Broadband Service)
National EBS National EBS AssociationAssociation
