1M Homes Enrolled in EBB's First Week, Says FCC

Some 1 million households signed up for emergency broadband benefits in the program's first week (see 2104290085), said the FCC Wednesday. “The high demand we’ve seen for the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program demonstrates what many of us already knew to be true -- too many families are struggling to get online, even in 2021,” said acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. More than 900 providers are participating.
