Millions of low-income families could soon face steeper broadband internet bills

Summary
Two government programs have provided broadband internet at a discount to 16 million U.S. households over the past two years, but the funding for the program is expected to run out next year. Polling suggests that voters from both sides of the aisle are in support of the continuation of the program, and those who have used it have found it helpful. However, two-thirds of eligible households remain unenrolled, and it is up to Congress to decide whether the program will be funded again.
