USAC Releases Data on EBB, Which Tops 2M Households

Universal Service Administrative Co. data for the first three weeks of the emergency broadband benefit showed more than 2.3 million households enrolled, with more than 61,000 tribal households. USAC said Monday $3.14 billion remains. California has the most households, with 219,675. “The great need for affordable broadband support is being met,” said FCC acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. USAC data will help “inform any long-term efforts to address broadband affordability,” Rosenworcel said. The FCC says 1,000-plus providers are participating.
