Education Department, Groups Launch ACP Sign-Up Campaign

The Education Department and hundreds of local and national organizations unveiled Online For All, a campaign to drive Affordable Connectivity Program enrollment. Nonprofit campaign coordinator Civic Nation said ED, working with such groups as the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers, will focus efforts on school students and their parents, letting them know about ACP. Comcast Executive Vice President-Digital Equity Broderick Johnson blogged that the company as part of the campaign held ACP awareness events Wednesday and has a variety of others scheduled. "While it’s impressive that more than 18.5 million households have signed up for the ACP benefit so far ... with more than 31 million households eligible for the ACP, but not yet enrolled, our attention must now turn toward broadband adoption," he said Wednesday.
