Municipal leaders have been given an unprecedented opportunity to advance digital equity. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s $65 billion commitment to universal broadband represents once-in-a-lifetime funding to improve state and local connectivity needs.
The success of this effort requires making sure low-income Marylanders are aware of the new Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) broadband subsidy along with the Maryland Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. MML Strategic Partner Comcast produced a new Maryland Emergency Broadband Benefit PSA about the program that municipalities can share on their website, PEG channels, or include in newsletters.
