Biden pushes affordable internet as ACP subsidy nears end
President Biden promoted universal internet access while the Affordable Connectivity Program faces expiration by end of April without congressional extension. The ACP provides 30 dollars monthly for most families and 75 dollars on tribal lands, aiding 23 million households. Local residents like Shirleen Alexander in Charlotte credit ACP for groceries and medical bills, urging lawmakers to keep the program. The White House frames broadband access as a 2030 goal akin to the Rural Electrification Administration, tying it to reelection messaging.
