The Affordable Connectivity Program, a pandemic-era subsidy that has been assisting low-income American families with their mobile and home internet expenses, is set to end in April 2024. As a result, approximately 23 million Americans are expected to face an increase of about ~$30 more per month for their internet services. This termination is anticipated to significantly impact these households, which are predominantly poor. Various news outlets have highlighted the potential rise in internet bills and the urgent need for legislative action to prevent millions from losing access to internet services.
