Affordable Connectivity Program

Affordable Connectivity Program

Join us Tuesday, 1/17 at 3:00 pm to learn more about The Affordable Connectivity Program, an FCC program that was put in place to help low-income families pay for the cost of connecting to broadband internet access. In this class we will look at qualifying for and applying for the benefit, and what you can expect from Internet Service Providers.

This class is available through The National Digital Equity Center Partner Onsite Classes Program, allowing locations throughout Maine to have in-person sessions of up to 10 people for any of our online interactive classes. We currently have spaces available, please spread the word!

Learn more about affordable devices and affordable connections today!
