Wednesday, June 7, 2023 – Affordable Connectivity Fund (Special Town Hall Edition)
Since being created at the direction of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, the Affordable Connectivity Program has gained significant support across multiple sectors. Smaller internet service providers have said that the ACP provides critical funding for building out networks to rural communities, and digital equity advocates have frequently called the program a key part of closing the digital divide for low-income and minority communities. But the program’s success might contribute to its downfall—experts have warned that at the rate people are subscribing, the fund will soon run out of money. This special two-hour “town hall” event will address the Affordable Connectivity Fund and the strong desire from many in the broadband world to see it renewed.
