The Biden administration has issued a warning that tens of millions of Americans could face a significant increase in internet bills or even be disconnected from their plans due to a funding shortfall. This situation is attributed to congressional Republicans, who are being blamed for the potential disruption of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
The ACP has been instrumental in providing internet access to over 23 million households in the United States, many of which are experiencing connectivity for the first time. If the program is not extended, these households may have to pay hundreds of dollars more annually to maintain their internet service.
