The Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides discounted internet service to low-income households, is facing a funding shortfall. If Congress does not approve more funding, the program will expire in May, leaving millions of Americans without affordable internet access. The program has made a significant difference in the lives of many families, enabling them to access online education, healthcare, and other essential services. Lawmakers and advocates are urging Congress to take action to extend the program, warning that letting it expire would have widespread negative consequences.
