    In the matter of the implementation of the Affordable Connectivity Program, Public Knowledge and Common Sense Media encourage the Federal Communications Commission to:

    • Use a hybrid approach when asking existing EBB participants to opt-in to or opt-out of continued internet service using the reduced ACP benefit. Subscribers who will not experience bill shock should opt-out; those who will should opt-in;
    • Ensure ISPs inform consumers about the transition and service offerings;
    • Allow the ACP benefit to be applied to existing grandfathered plans;
    • Increase eligible uses of the device benefit;
    • Allow schools and libraries to act as bulk purchasers;
    • Establish minimum service standards;
    • Create avenues for promoting and sharing information about the ACP.
