Efforts to end landline services in rural communities are being opposed by Rep. Jimmy Panetta. Rep. Davids supports bipartisan federal legislation to close the digital gap. The $30-per-month federal internet subsidy, set to expire in April, is crucial for many Nevadans. Lawmakers are urged to take action to prevent disruptions to internet plans. Boosting broadband infrastructure is crucial for new opportunities and public safety, as advocated by Rep. Panetta.
Communications Daily reporting that when the Affordable Connectivity Program (#ACP) subsidies expire internet service providers will compete on cost and quality to attract consumers. Iβm shocked. https://t.co/21PTj0W6RQ
Since 2021, the Affordable Connectivity Program has helped low-income households in Nevada stay online, enabling access to telehealth, job boards and more. But the subsidy is imperiled by a familiar obstacle: congressional inaction. @birenbomb reports: https://t.co/Y1xhicjDdE
We continue our work to ensure our home gets broadband infrastructure. Looking forward to working together with local leaders and community members to bolster internet and cell service throughout our congressional district. https://t.co/ZkKAMt4wET
I continue fighting to preserve landline service in Californiaβs 19th Congressional District. Lack of cell service in rural areas presents a distinct public safety issue that state regulators must account for. https://t.co/BTfBbFL77W
Boosting our broadband infrastructure is essential to opening new opportunities and ensuring public safety. Iβll continue to advocate for and secure federal, state, and local investments needed to connect Californiaβs 19th Congressional District. https://t.co/btUMER8Ly0
According to a recent @FCC survey on #ACP, 77% of respondents who are ACP enrollees say they would face disruptions to their internet plans or have to drop service entirely if the programβs funding expires. Lawmakers must take immediate action. https://t.co/OIzAs56yBB
'No good options': Popular internet subsidy used by many Nevadans may disappear Enacted in 2021, the $30-per-month federal benefit expiring in April has been a key way to keep bills low as broadband infrastructure is expanded. Via @birenbomb https://t.co/WIDCxGVVBY @TheNVIndy
The internet is used to access crucial resources such as employment opportunities, business software capabilities, virtual learning, and health care. I voted for bipartisan federal legislation that will help close the digital gap and keep our communities connected.
Landlines are critical to many of my constituents who lack connectivity, in good times and bad. Thatβs why Iβm fighting efforts to end landline services to our rural communities. https://t.co/nbdKABj2BY
