Recovery Act Internet Program

Satellite Internet And The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Have you just about given up on the Internet because you live in "forgotten America" or somewhere out in the middle of nowhere far away from the fast broadband access others enjoy? Don't lose hope. Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, you may qualify for HughesNet Satellite Internet at a hugely discounted price.

The Internet and related telecommunication services have been a major contributor to economic growth over recent decades. Still, the lack of reliable, high speed broadband service in some areas has prevented millions of Americans from being able to participate in that growth. Broadband Internet access has become even more critical following the unprecedented economic downturn which resulted in massive unemployment. Access enables job seekers to attain new skills, further their education and read online job postings.

In recognition of the problem, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 set up two programs to bring broadband access to more homes. Two programs, funded by $7.2 billion, were established to extend access to more homes. The Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) has set a goal of expanding access into 2.9 million households and the other, the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), to reach 40 million homes!

Only last year, it was determined that the programs, which concentrated on land lines, had not gone far enough. Too many households were left behind. Congress then authorized an additional $100 million to be spent connecting Americans with the World Wide Web through the services offered by satellite internet providers. HughesNet, with whom we are proudly associated, was one of the services chosen for participation. What this means is that your household could be one of the millions who benefit.

Because of the increased video and audio delivery, you and your family members have the opportunity to take part in distance learning programs, attend webinars that focus on interview skills or even discover ways to establish your own business. Along with the employment related content, broadband makes possible increased access to news, medical information and entertainment.

Do you and your family qualify? To find out, you can contact one of our representatives. For no charge we'll assist you in determining whether you match the qualifications established by the federal government for participation in one of these programs.
