As part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021, Congress appropriated $14.2 billion to create the Affordable Connectivity Program, or ACP, to provide lower-income households with a monthly subsidy of up to $30 ($75 on tribal lands) that may be applied to acquire internet service from any participating internet service provider.
The ACP, which began operating in early 2022, is overseen by the Federal Communications Commission.
