The ACP program, or Affordable Connectivity Program, is a long-term $14 billion initiative created by Congress. It replaces the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program and aims to make broadband more affordable for individuals and households. This program ensures that people have access to reliable internet connections for work, school, healthcare, and other essential needs.
