The $900 billion COVID relief package passed by Congress this month includes a $7 billion broadband Internet investment. The bill sets aside funding to help low-income families pay for reliable Internet service. It also includes millions for telehealth and for creating up-to-date broadband coverage maps.
While he has called for additional aid, including increasing the amount of the direct payments to Americans, Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC), did praise the relief package and said it includes critical support for South Carolina communities.
“It is especially essential during this pandemic that every American have affordable access to health care, education, housing, Internet, and economic opportunity,” said Congressman Clyburn. “The investments in this bill will make progress in all of these areas throughout South Carolina and the Sixth Congressional District.”
