Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
Discontinued as of May 2024
What happened to the Affordable Connectivity Program?
On January 11th, 2024, due to lack of additional funding from Congress, the FCC issued an order announcing the wind-down of the ACP. Funding for the program ran through May of 2024.
The FCC issued a public notice announcing that the last fully funded month of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was April 2024, triggering notification responsibilities for providers. ACP households received a partial ACP discount from their service provider in May 2024.
