More Than 100 ACA Connects Member Companies Seek to Participate in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program From Day One

A large contingent of ACA Connects member companies is on track to participate in the Federal Communications Commission’s Emergency Broadband Benefit Program from the day it launches. More than 100 members have expressed interest and completed necessary steps to join the program. Collectively, these providers pass more than 10 million homes in total, representing the vast majority of homes passed by all ACA Connects members. In nearly all cases, these providers have networks capable of offering service of at least 100/20 Mbps, and all can offer at least 25/3 Mbps. Though the priority deadline has passed, ACA Connects expects more non-ETC members to apply for FCC approval before the program begins. Additional ETC members are also expected to elect to participate in the program.
