Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the requirements for the Affordable Connectivity Program and a timeline for its rapid implementation. It is imperative to connect every American as quickly as possible. This belief has always been core to IIA’s mission, which is to ensure that every American – regardless of race, income, or geography – has access to the critical tool that is broadband internet. Since 2004, IIA has promoted public policies that support equal opportunity for universal broadband availability and adoption so that everyone, everywhere can realize the benefits of the internet, from work to education, health care, employment, community building, civic engagement and more.
