Broadband Access Discount Program

The December Covid-19 relief bill included $3.2 billion to help low-income Americans pay for broadband service. Last week, the FCC established the Emergency Broadband Benefit program, which will make use of those funds.

"The program will provide discounts of up to $50 a month, or $75 on Tribal lands, for broadband service for low-income households. It also includes a one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, desktop computer or tablet purchased from certain providers, which are yet to be named but are likely to include major wireless network operators, among others."
