124000 Iowa households risk losing internet subsidy end of April
More than 124,000 Iowa households rely on the Affordable Connectivity Program subsidizing $30 per month for broadband and $75 in tribal regions. If Congress does not extend funding by April, enrollees may lose internet access, impacting health care, work, and education. A bill to fund the program through year end has limited support and faces uncertain passage.
