The Biden administration's Affordable Connectivity Program provides low-cost, high-speed internet to individuals who lack access or for whom the cost is too high, but many Americans don't know that they could be eligible.
On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to highlight the internet access expansion program, also called ACP, in South Carolina, touting it as an initiative that now serves more than 16 million households and saves Americans more than half-a-billion dollars per month on internet access through low-cost plans, discounts and subsidies.
Enrollment is up 40% since the benefit was first announced, according to The White House. The program was signed into law in November 2021, as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
