I'm in @WSJ talking how we can make the #broadband nutrition labels better - to wit, people need to be able to find them and then understand them. This is doable, come on people.

.@WSJ's @patiencehaggin wrote a piece on #broadband nutrition labels, quoting OTI's @ckapadia: wsj.com/business/telec… #DYK: Our 15 years of advocacy successfully enabled the adoption of these labels. Learn more: newamerica.org/oti/blog/15-ye…

We agree, @RepYvetteClarke: Congress must act NOW to renew the #ACP connecting 23 million households before funds run out after next month. To keep Americans like Mr. Milton Perez connected, @OTI endorsed the #AffordableConnectivityProgram Extension Act: bit.ly/43bLoCL
Rep. Yvette D. Clarke@RepYvetteClarke

Without the Affordable Connectivity Program, millions of Americans like my guest to the #StateoftheUnion, Mr. Milton Perez, would be denied the low-cost, reliable broadband they’ve come to depend on. It’s up to Congress to protect these benefits for Americans & their families.

1 in every 6 American households uses #acp to help pay their internet bills - so Congress choosing (and yes, it's a choice) not to fund it further is harmful and short-sighted. #digitaldivide
Open Tech Institute at New America@OTI

With funds running out, #ACP enrollment freezes TODAY. If Congress doesn’t step in, millions in the #heartland may no longer be able to pay for #internet service. We can—& must—fix this, @OTI’s @ckapadia writes w/ @OTI alum @ChrisJ_Sadler in @dailyyonder: dailyyonder.com/commentary-bro…

Seriously - why can't we just help people if they need a hand paying their internet bills? It's 2024, and it would be good for all of us if could just agree that the internet isn't a luxury anymore. #DontDisconnectUS

Groceries ✅ Gas ✅ Rent ✅ Internet❓ The #AffordableConnectivityProgram helps 23M+ households afford #broadband. Congress must ACT NOW to keep #ACP from running out of $$$, or low-income families may have to choose between #internet & other necessities. dontdisconnectus.org

Super proud of my @OTI folks @MCalabreseNAF @sarahforland @PremMTrivedi Raza Panjwani for their great work standing up for the public interest! Let's hope this time it sticks...

NEW: @OTI urges @FCC to restore its authority to hold ISPs accountable for anti-consumer policies & behavior by reclassifying broadband internet access services as a Title II telecommunications service, reestablishing nationwide #NetNeutrality protections. newamerica.org/oti/press-rele…

In the span of an hour, I went from talking abt the right q's to ask re: K-12 students having any/good enough internet, to hearing abt the future of accountability in AI. The gulf between those worlds is huge. And it won't get better until we fix it. #digitaldivide #mentalvertigo
