FCC Affordable Connectivity Program Participants Qualify for New Lenovo Tablet and Fast, Affordable Internet Access

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hoop Wireless, a nationwide provider of prepaid phone service and a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provider, announced today the company is now offering affordable Lenovo M8 tablet computers to ACP eligible households. Hoop Wireless customers who meet federal income guidelines can now access fast, affordable internet service using a powerful business and education-ready tablet computer – a $209 value for just $10.

Hoop Wireless is helping solve a major challenge affecting the ACP rollout – eligible households who cannot access the digital services they need for work, school, and telehealth support with the low-quality devices available through the federal benefit program. More than 20 million people have signed up for affordable internet access through ACP, but the program only provides low-income families up to $100 towards the purchase of internet-ready devices. The rising cost of technology has become a major obstacle to achieving universal internet access. To help increase use of the FCC’s revolutionary program, Hoop Wireless is working with nonprofit and community organizations across the country to connect eligible families to low-cost internet service and high-quality Lenovo devices.

“We are proud to participate in the FCC’s nationwide program helping ensure all families have access to the high-speed internet service they need to succeed at work and at school,” said Yosef Bernstein, founder and CEO, Hoop Wireless. “High speed internet access is bringing essential virtual healthcare services to rural areas, but families who lack the computing power to take advantage are still part of our digital divide in America. At Hoop Wireless, we are working to close that gap by offering powerful Lenovo tablet computers to ACP eligible families.”

As an ACP partner, Hoop Wireless is committed to improving access for all Americans, with discounted internet service and low-cost, high-quality computing power. The ACP is a nationwide effort to bridge the digital divide for households who cannot afford broadband internet access. The FCC has received $42 billion in funding to improve universal broadband access. In the U.S., up to 24 million people still lack access to high-speed internet, a major obstacle to educational attainment, 21st century career skills building, healthcare access, and more. According to the FCC, 18% of people living on tribal lands did not have broadband internet service in 2020, compared to 4% of U.S. residents living in non-tribal areas.

An independent, start-up telecommunications provider, Hoop Wireless provides free 5G service on the most dependable network in America. Registered to provide service and ACP program support in all fifty states, Hoop Wireless requires no contract to begin service, and customers can cancel their service at any time. The service provider is known nationwide for its transparent billing and pricing processes and high-quality customer service and support. Hoop Wireless is now offering ACP eligibility households a responsive Lenovo M8 tablet computer, featuring a user-friendly design, industry-leading processing power, and manufacturer’s 12-month warranty, for just $10.

To participate in ACP, households must meet income requirements at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, or have one member of the household who meets an additional criteria, including: receiving a Federal Pell Grant or participating in a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program, Medicaid, a Federal Housing Assistance program (Section 8 Vouchers, Public Housing, Project-Based Rental Assistance), Supplemental Security Income, WIC, Veterans Pension or Survivor Benefits, or Lifeline. Households living on qualifying Tribal lands are eligible if they participate in one of these programs: Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal TANF, Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, or Tribal Head Start.

“The FCC’s program to achieve universal internet access in the U.S. is truly revolutionary, but to drive full engagement, we must provide eligible families with access to long-lasting, internet-ready devices that are easy to use and meet their diverse needs – from virtual schooling to telework and telehealth,” said Bernstein. “We’re providing high-quality Lenovo devices that are affordable for ACP participants. With a Lenovo M8 tablet and fast and reliable broadband access, all families in America are ready to reach for their dreams this year.”
