#Covid_19 has shown not just the necessity of having service, but also how many people struggle with affordability.
In Philadelphia 31% of low-income households lost service because of difficulty in paying their broadband bills.

"Bloomington conducted a statistically valid Digital Equity Survey in April 2020 and found that essentially 0% of the low-income residents sampled were aware of federal subsidies or low-income provider plans."
"[T]he EBB app is only available in English & Spanish, creating barriers for other non-English speaking communities..."
If we're gonna close the digital divide, language can't be a barrier to critical subsidies.
