Benton Institute Launches Online Tool for Analyzing ACP Enrollment

The Benton Institute for Broadband & Society launched an online tool Tuesday showing the actual and expected number of households enrolled in the FCC's affordable connectivity program. The tool will "enable communities to better understand where ACP enrollment exceeds expectations and where it does not" to "help decision makers target outreach more precisely in areas with the greatest need," said Senior Fellow John Horrigan. The tool will make people aware of ACP and "help communities target efforts to increase enrollment," said Executive Director Adrianne Furniss. The tool allows users to view the actual level of enrollment, predicted level of enrollment, and how an area is performing at the five-digit ZIP code-level.
