Internet Essentials: Year Four Progress Report

Every year for the past four years, we have provided an annual Internet Essentials update. For our 2015 report, it gives me great pride to announce that through February 2015, more than 450,000 families have signed up for Internet Essentials, bringing the power of the Internet to 1.8 million low-income Americans. To put that in perspective, 1.8 million is larger than the populations of 96 of America’s 100 largest cities as well as 12 states and the District of Columbia. It’s also worth noting that the six-month period from September 2014 through February 2015 was the most successful period in the program’s history, with nearly 90,000 new Internet Essentials enrollments.
