The FCC will host a public webinar to provide information on the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB)), a $3.2 billion program to help Americans afford broadband Internet service during the pandemic. The EBB provides a discount of up to $50 per month ($75 on Tribal lands) off a qualifying households’ internet bill. For eligible households there is the potential for a discount of up to $100 towards the purchase of a tablet, laptop or desktop computer from a participating provider so long as the eligible purchaser contributes more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
