HONOLULU - As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, our reliance on
internet connectivity to work remotely, engage in distance learning,
utilize telehealth services, and access government services online
becomes more in demand. But, with the help of a program established by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), low-income families
everywhere, including Hawai'i, are able to access truly affordable
internet service. Currently, more than 9,000 households across Hawai'i
are enrolled in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, amounting to
more than one million dollars in savings for island residents who need
it most.
