Heinrich Encourages Eligible New Mexicans To Apply For Broadband, Technology Assistance Through FCC Program From the Office of U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich: WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) is encouraging eligible New Mexicans and Tribal residents to apply for consumer discounts through the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. “The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for families and students in New Mexico,” Heinrich said. “We must ensure all New Mexicans have access to broadband services and this FCC program is a great way to help eligible applicants pay for the services they need. I will continue fighting to ensure every family and child in New Mexico, no matter where they live or go to school, has the digital capabilities and resources they need to succeed in the 21st century.”
