🌟 Join Us! Let your voice be heard! 🌟 💡 The digital divide separates those with access to modern technology and internet services from those without. This gap affects education, job opportunities, and access to essential services, disproportionately impacting low-income and underserved communities. By closing this divide, we can create a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. However, due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program has ended for now. 💡 🤝 That's the reason why Emerios supports initiatives like the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) to provide affordable internet access to all households. By partnering with ACP, we help ensure low-income families can stay connected and benefit from digital resources. 🤝 📢 Support ACP and help ensure everyone can thrive in a connected world. Your voice can help bridge the digital divide and create a more inclusive future for all! 📢

"Vermont's broadband expansion receives national recognition" reads the Claremont, NH's Eagle Times' June 15, 2024 headline. "A new report from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and Benton Institute for Broadband & Society gives a detailed and glowing review of Vermont’s Communications Union District (CUD) model of meeting the challenges of rural broadband. The 50-page report describes the history of the struggle for reliable internet service and shows how CUDs have become the solution. It starts with the state’s first CUD, ECFiber, and then profiles the nine CUDs that followed. CUD leaders, state officials, and VCBB Board Members were interviewed for the report, which also serves as a guide and suggests that other states or countries could benefit from a similar approach to rural broadband."
