>Addressing the "digital divide" that leaves 43 percent of the lowest-income US households without modern broadband, the Federal Communications Commission has reformed its Lifeline program to include affordable high-speed internet service.
>The $9.25 monthly household subsidy will soon be usable for stand-alone mobile or fixed broadband Internet access, or bundled voice and data service from an internet service provider, the FCC said in a statement.
>The new Lifeline plan will have a soft cap of $2.25 billion per year, allowing for adjustment in the future. The program cost $1.5 billion last year, the Los Angeles Times reported. Its funding is sourced from a small monthly fee attached to consumer bills. The subsidy is paid directly to the telecom-service provider.

I wonder if 4chan is blacklisted from that provider.

Under immense supervision and censorship no doubt.

What's the point of working anymore and being a productive member of society when the government will take care of all of your basic needs? SNAP, Section 8, and now Internet. I'll join the NEET life and never look back.

A lot of members of the black community are still trying to organize or keep tabs on the Riots For Justice For Jamar by word of mouth. It's unacceptable that in this day in age, there is one member of the African race that built this country and drives this economy with it's cultural stars does not have the basic human right of internet access.
God bless the motherfuckin FCC

Man, you Americans have expensive internet. That's 100/100 Mbs right? I guess you get no data caps as well for that price. We get cheap fast internet from the government ISP, but you don't have that.

Ghis is why public libraries exist.
They are going to need a device to access it on too!
Whole new world of shitposting, pure niggerposting

Our internet is shit and $9.25 is only a fraction of the monthly cost.
>>69598394
Don't forget free phone
>>69599203

>no data caps as well for that price

Nah, it's still shit. We had a 100gig cap for the longest time until Frontier and Verizon moved in. The sole Internet provider had to finally stop Jewing their subscribers as everyone started switching in droves.

My internet is $60/month for 25Mbps. It's usually around 40Mbps, doesn't make the price any better though.

I expect them to find their way to the rest of the internet in short order, expect to see unironic "smassh da liek!" ebonics become even more popular in parts of the web over the next few years.
>>69599208
$9/month internet is a fucking DREAM here.
You're lucky to pay $60+ for shitty comcast with nonexistent customer service. They have a government protected monopoly on the service.
