Biden Administration, Civic Nation Unite 300+ Orgs to Cut Internet Costs, Boost Access

Access to high-speed internet is no longer a luxury - it is a necessity to fully participate in today's society. Still, many students and families go without high-speed internet because of the cost, while others are forced to cut back on other essentials to pay their monthly internet bill. That's why President Biden and Vice President Harris worked with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to include the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)-the largest internet affordability program in our nation's history-in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Affordable Connectivity Program, administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), provides eligible households up to $30/month (or up to $75/month on qualifying Tribal lands) off internet bills, as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet. To further lower costs, President Biden and Vice President Harris secured commitments from internet service providers across the country to offer high-speed internet plans that are fully covered by the Affordable Connectivity Program-meaning millions of working families can now get high-speed internet without paying a dime.
