Just a reminder that @RepDaveJoyce's Appropriations subcommittee is still sitting on a bill with 230 co-sponsors (the ACP Extension Act) that would have prevented this. #netinclusion cnet.com/home/internet/the-h…

Same new ACS data shows Detroit and Cleveland have 1st and 2nd highest poverty rates among 100 biggest US cities. The urban digital divide is a long-term effect of long-term community poverty. @netinclusion

Already a monopoly in much of Ohio, Spectrum is big winner of state's rural broadband expansion subsidies so far. bilcal-details.blogspot.com/…

Now that the Affordable Connectivity Program is dead, can we stop pretending the "bipartisan support" in Congress for funding it was ever real? techdirt.com/2024/08/28/pres…

Ohio has now awarded $327 million in Residential Broadband Expansion Grants (ORBEG) for connecting rural homes. ORBEG rounds 3 and 4 will divvy up another $700 million in Federal BEAD funds. Guess which ISP is getting the lion's share so far? #BroadbandOhio

Democratic Party platform adopted last night: "[The Affordable Connectivity Program was] the largest internet affordability program in history. It expired in May, because Republicans refused to act; but Democrats will keep fighting to reinstate it." democrats.org/news/dnc-relea…

Here's an excellent explainer of @DigitalC_org's strategy for making its affordable fixed wireless broadband work in Cleveland's tree-filled neighborhoods. Thanks @mabarinova95 and @FierceNetwork_ ! fierce-network.com/broadband…

With @ACP subsidies ended, Spectrum has apparently stopped offering its $30 "Internet 100" plan as well. 'Cause they care so much about keeping Internet affordable. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

And... it's not happening. Commerce Committee markup of spectrum bill with #ACP $$ included is "postponed" for the third time. Chair @SenCantwell blames @SenTedCruz (h/t @JLPhillipsDC).

It’s been over two weeks since the Affordable Connectivity Program lapsed. RT if you agree Congress must act to save the ACP.

Here's my Congressman @RepDaveJoyce taking credit for the GOP's latest partisan attack on pro-consumer @FCC initiatives to preserve net neutrality and reduce digital redlining by big Internet providers... /1

🚨My Financial Services & General Gov't appropriations bill just passed the full committee & is headed to the House floor.
As Chairman of the subcommittee, I worked to ensure this bill protects the integrity of our financial & judicial systems while cutting reckless spending.

...even while Rep Joyce and his @HouseAppropsGOP subcommittee keep blocking bipartisan majority legislation to re-fund the Affordable Connectivity Act, which a million Ohio households (inc 70,000 in Joyce's own district) have been using to reduce their broadband bills. /2

There's much uncertainty about whether the @commercedems markup of the Spectrum and National Security Act (S-4207) happens tomorrow as planned. It's officially still on but I'm told talks aimed at reaching a deal are still happening. More from me: communicationsdaily.com/arti…

.@SenatorCantwell takes another shot next Wed at getting her spectrum bill with $$ for #ACP thru Senate Commerce. @SenatorLujan's ACP funding compromise bill with @JDVance1 and other GOP co-sponsors (S4317) could be the model. #SaveACP @netinclusion lightreading.com/broadband/t…
