The Affordable Connectivity Program is a federal program that helps make the Internet more affordable. Millions of Americans qualify for the program but aren’t taking advantage of the opportunity!
The benefit provides:
- Up to $30 per month toward internet service;
- Up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands; and
- A one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers.
A community is only as good as the quality of the lives of its members. This may be somewhat cliche, but the truth is a ‘quality community’ will do whatever is possible to improve life for its residents. There’s no better way to do this than by providing funding to address these community-wide issues.
