<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:black;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">The COVID-19 health crisis has shed light on the need for home internet service, and the large number of American households in all kinds
of communities who don’t have it. Some Internet Service Providers have responded with new or improved discount broadband plans, that will only be available for a short time; others continue to offer plans that were created prior to the crisis. NDIA commits
to keeping this list of Free & Low-Cost Internet Plans updated daily.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

To support local efforts, NDIA has compiled a list of current offers from ISPs that will help low-income households to acquire service at low or no cost. Most have eligibility limitations linked to income or program enrollment. The list also includes established,
nationally available low-cost plans offered by nonprofit organizations. We will add other providers’ plans as we learn of them.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
