President Trump has decided to halt the Digital Equity Act, a $2.75 billion initiative from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law. His reasoning, citing the program as 'racist' and 'unconstitutional,' has led to states like Indiana and Maine receiving notifications to suspend related broadband funding applications. The cuts are expected to negatively affect communities such as older residents, low-income households, and small businesses, prompting organizations to reevaluate their digital equity strategies and responses to this significant policy change.
"The announcement about suspending the Digital Opportunity Grant program is deeply disappointing, and MCA is now exploring its options to respond to grant termination."
