RALEIGH – More than 1 million households across the U.S. have already signed up for the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program – worth $50 a month toward internet bills – that was just announced a week ago.
“The high demand we’ve seen for the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program demonstrates what many of us already knew to be true – too many families are struggling to get online, even in 2021. Help is here.” said Federal Communications Commission Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel in a statement. “As an agency, we’re continuing to focus our efforts on reaching as many communities as possible, so they can get the support they need.”
