A key objective of the BEAD program is to ensure every American household has access to high-speed broadband. Unfortunately, many will be unable to afford the new networks. A new affordability benefit is needed to maximize the government’s $42.45B investment in broadband access.

Closing the digital divide for the 18 million households that have access to the Internet but can't afford to connect.
关于我们
EducationSuperHighway is a national non-profit with the mission to close the digital divide for the 17 million households that have access to the Internet but can't afford to connect. We focus on America's most unconnected communities, where more than 25% of people don't have Internet. From 2012-2020 we led the effort that closed the classroom connectivity gap. In 2013, only 10% of students had access to digital learning in their classrooms. Today, thanks to an unprecedented bi-partisan effort by federal, state, and school district leaders, supported by K-12 advocacy organizations, the classroom connectivity gap is closed - 47 million students are connected, and 99.3% of America's schools have a high-speed broadband connection.
