N.C. Gov. Presses State's Congressional Delegation to Fund ACP

Renew funding for the affordable connectivity program, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) urged his state’s congressional delegation this week. “We can run fiber broadband to every home in North Carolina, but if the residents can’t afford the service, they still risk being left behind,” said Cooper in letters shared Wednesday by the governor’s office. ACP funding could dry up this April, said Cooper: “Without bipartisan collaboration between Congress and the White House to continue the ACP, nearly 20 million households enrolled nationally could lose connectivity as well as all the essential services that come with it.”
