From Bus & Motorcoach News:
As a teen, Matthew Brown was the guy buying and flipping cars in high school. By college, he was selling used coaches from his family’s fleet. Now, more than a decade later, he’s rebranding the business he helped build to reflect a growing national presence in the bus and motorcoach market.
This month, Brown announced the rebranding of his dealership from Holiday Coach and Auto Sales to Smart Choice “Coach” Sales, marking a new chapter for the company that has sold buses to or from nearly every state. “It just made sense,” Brown says. “Everybody knows me as ‘Matthew the coach sales guy.’ It’s not ‘Holiday,’ it’s Matthew.”
The move aims to better distinguish the dealership from his family’s charter company, Holiday Companies, and clarify that the two now and always have had two independent focuses! Holiday Companies on charters and now Smart Choice “Coach” Sales on coach sales..................

From School Transportation News:
The long-awaited verdict from the U.S. Supreme Court is in regarding a 5th Circuit decision that the Universal Service Fund (USF) was unconstitutional.
Friday’s 6-3 ruling in favor of an FCC appeal of the lower court’s ruling for now safeguards school bus Wi-Fi eligibility under E-Rate. The program provides discounts of 20 to 90 percent on the costs of internet connectivity, as well as equipment installation based on a school district’s poverty level and rural location.
The 5th Circuit had ruled that the $9 billion per year USF, the accounting and funding mechanism for E-Rate based on fee collection and the Universal Service Administration Company represented taxation not approved by Congress. The Court disagreed.
As reported by Broadband Breakfast, Justice Elana Kagan wrote that the 1996 amendment of the Communications Act, “provided the Commission with clear guidance on how to promote universal service using carrier contributions.
