AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM

 -

Affordable Connectivity Program.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program is now the Affordable Connectivity Program.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program was launched by the FCC in late February last year in response to the pandemic to offer affordable Internet to qualifying households. This program acknowledged that work from home, remote learning, and critical telehealth should be available to all Americans. As a result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Care Act (IIJCA), the EBB program became the Affordable Connectivity Program as of last December. The ACP focuses on affordable connectivity issues in the long-term over the next 5 years, not just as a response to the pandemic.

Converged Services is working diligently with participating providers to bring the greatest value of the Affordable Connectivity Program to communities and their residents. If you would like to learn how to sign-up, please send an email to info@convergedservicesinc.com.
