FCC Announces Release of Regional Emergency Broadband Benefit Data

Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel announced the Federal Communications Commission will begin releasing more detailed Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) enrollment figures to inform its current awareness efforts and empower its outreach partners with targeted campaigns. Since May 2021, the FCC enrolled over 3 million households into the EBB program and the new data will show enrolled households in three-digit zip code areas. The FCC has enlisted over 24,000 partners ranging from local Boys and Girls clubs, school districts, libraries, YMCAs, food banks, Meals on Wheels and grassroots organizers to national nonprofits that focus on digital inclusion volunteering to help spread the word about the EBB Program.
