The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a $14 billion benefit program launched by the Federal Communications Commission to ease the burden of monthly broadband services and the purchase of an internet-enabled device. To date, more than 17 million Americans have enrolled in the program, which offers $30 toward monthly service for low-income households and $75 for those residing on Tribal lands. The ACP, which is an offshoot of the Emergency Broadband Benefit program, is likely to run out of funding by mid-2024.
