Comcast NBCUniversal ranked No. 13 on the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc 2023 Top 50 Companies for Diversity list.
The federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has helped connect more than 20 million households to the internet since it was launched nearly two years ago. However, the $14 billion funding provided to the FCC to provide vouchers to eligible households is likely to be exhausted early next year.
Comcast participates in the ACP, which provides families a $30/month benefit and $75/month on Tribal lands toward their internet bill. Connectivity for eligible families is free when the ACP is combined with Comcast’s Internet Essentials or Internet Essentials Plus tiers.
Comcast and the ACP have made significant progress in closing the digital divide, but many communities nationwide have yet to take full advantage of the opportunity. And if the funding runs out, these households may never have the chance to get connected.
