[co-author: Charles Spencer-Davis, Law Clerk] On May 12, 2021, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) began enrolling eligible households in its Emergency Broadband Benefit (“EBB”) program. The EBB program provides eligible households with up to a $50 monthly discount on their internet plans (and up to $75 a month discounted for households located on Tribal lands).[1] The EBB also includes funding for a one-time discount of up to $100 for a tablet, computer, or other specified device for qualifying households.[2] Funded by the stimulus package signed into law at the end of December, 2020, the EBB will make a total amount of $3.2 billion in discounts on broadband services and equipment available to consumers. As Acting FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel noted, the program creates “a new way for disconnected Americans to access the internet to carry out their day-to-day life, so they can reach the virtual classroom, take advantage of telehealth, and seek new employment opportunities.”[3]
