NTCA Applauds Biden ACP Supplemental Request

NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association released the following statement from CEO Shirley Bloomfield following the Biden Administration’s request for supplemental funding to support the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) through the end of 2024: 
 
“NTCA members have been active participants in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and a number of their customers rely upon the support this program provides to pay for broadband services month after month. The ACP program is also poised to play a critical part in addressing affordability as part of deployment programs just now getting underway. NTCA therefore applauds the White House for identifying the need for additional funding to prolong the effectiveness of the ACP program in its supplemental appropriations request, and we hope that this program that enjoys such widespread support will continue to play an important role in keeping Americans connected.”
