New research from Roberto Gallardo shows that 42.2% of rural residents said price is the reason they don't have a home Internet subscription. 38.9% said they couldn't get a connection installed. Almost 3/4 of respondents with a disability cited price as the biggest barrier to Internet.
Members of Energy and Commerce Committee / Energy & Commerce Democrats must understand that our window of opportunity to protect affordable internet for over 21 million households is closing fast. Congress can earn a much-needed bipartisan win by funding #ACP. Here’s why: thehill.com/opinion/techno…
This panel was absolutely amazing. Lots of great discussions and a few points that made me really stop and think. If you have the opportunity check out this great panel with Christopher Ali and @saschameinrath.bsky.social moderated by Revati!

Kudos to The White House for including $6 billion in the domestic supplemental for the Affordable Connectivity Program, the monthly broadband subsidy for low-income, tribal and high cost households. It's critical that *everyone* is connected to the Internet! whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Glad to see the Affordable Connectivity Program called out in the President Donald J. Trump budget request. Now it’s time for Speaker Mike Johnson Steve Scalise Hakeem Jeffries Chuck Schumer Mitch McConnell to keep 23M households - including about 2.7M in the states you represent - connected
Kathryn de Wit Amazing job! So glad to see your brain power in the room to come up with solutions when we need them most.
