The COVID-19 epidemic will no doubt affect ACA Connects members businesses in many ways. As “social distancing” becomes the norm, Americans will rely increasingly on residential broadband networks for telework and distance learning-and, as always, our members’ networks will be critical lifelines to reach 9-1-1 and stay connected with their families and neighbors. Members will also need to ensure they are taking steps to keep employees safe, while maintaining business operations and keeping the network up and running.
ACA Connects wants to hear what you are doing to meet these and other challenges. Knowing your actions will greatly benefit ACA Connects’ advocacy in Washington. We are interested in learning about any special policies members have implemented for the benefit of their customers or the public, such as waiving certain fees or expanding access to basic service for low-income residents. We welcome feedback by email and are also available to discuss these matters by telephone at 412.922.8300.
