Affordable Connectivity Program
June 17, 2024 Update
| In a recent May letter to Affordable Connectivity Program Outreach Grantees, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel thanked the many grantees nationwide, including 15 here in California, for their contributions to the success of the Affordable Connectivity Program. Before the enrollment freeze on February 8, 2024, over 23 million households nationwide, and 2,945,282 in California were enrolled in ACP. According to analysis provided by the FCC which outlines the ACP by State, the total impact of ACP subsidies to California was nearly $1.7 billion over the life of the program. While the Lifeline program will not fully replace the ACP benefit and has different requirements under the law, it may be able to help alleviate the pressure ACP households will face after the end of the program.
