Description

There are 22 million households enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity
Program, each receiving a subsidy from the federal government for their
monthly internet bill. But unless Congress acts, the program will soon
run out of money. On POLITICO Tech, reporter John Hendel tells host
Steven Overly why partisan politics could effectively kill the program,
and what that would mean for closing the digital divide.
