The Federal onlinemunications onlinemission, a division of the U.S. government, just announced the Emergency Broadband Benefit, a program designed to bring internet access to low inonlinee households for less!

Starting May 12th, eligible families can apply for monetary benefits that will aid those struggling to afford internet service during the current worldwide pandemic. With the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, eligible households will be provided with a temporary discount of up to $50 per month for internet service. That benefit goes up to $75 per month for those on qualifying Tribal lands.

Plus, there’s also an available one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop onlineputer, or tablet from participating providers. Eligible families will have to contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price of the device in order to use this discount. There IS also a limit of one monthly savings choice and a single one-time purchase price discount per household.

    I also heard broadband is not available in a lot of low inonlinee areas because it is not there.
    Also, way too expensive for everyone. Housing is too expensive also!
