"Expiration Threatens Biden's Affordable Internet Vow for Millions"

President Biden's goal of affordable internet access for all Americans is at risk as the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) subsidy, providing $30 a month for qualifying families, is set to expire this spring. The program, crucial to the administration's plans to connect everyone to high-speed internet by 2030, has enabled families to avoid financial trade-offs and access vital services. A bipartisan group of lawmakers proposed a bill to sustain the ACP through 2024 with additional funding, but its future remains uncertain in a divided Congress. The program's expiration could result in families losing internet access or having to pay more, impacting infrastructure funding and the Biden administration's efforts to close the digital divide.
