Congress can’t let affordable broadband slip away

Published February 28, 2024 1:55pm ET



In less than two months, if Congress does not act, tens of millions of people could find themselves unable to stay connected to high-speed internet.

Thanks to the Affordable Connectivity Program, low-income Americans who qualify can choose from a variety of services and carriers in their area, applying a $30 discount, or $75 on tribal lands, in the form of a tech-neutral voucher. This high-speed connectivity allows thousands of individuals from Texas to Vermont to start businesses, stay in touch with family, book telehealth appointments, and more.
