Jessica Rosenworcel: “Keeping this program funded needs to be a priority.”

I want to acknowledge that the Emergency Connectivity Fund, championed by Chairman Van Hollen, has also been instrumental in closing the digital divide.

We have come too far to turn back. Keeping this program funded needs to be a priority.

I strongly support identifying a way to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program into the future to help more families get and stay connected to the high-speed Internet they need to participate in modern life.

Congress set aside funding for it but those funds are not sufficient to fully fund reimbursement.
