Keep Americans Connected Pledge

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has introduced the “Keep Americans Connected Pledge” to promote connectivity for Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the Coronavirus and its impact on American society, ASTAC pledges through May 31 to:

waive any late fees that any residential or small business customers incur because of their economic circumstances related to the coronavirus pandemic;
not terminate service to any residential or small business customers because of their inability to pay their bills due to the disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic; and
work with communities and government agencies on remote learning and business continuity opportunities, as appropriate
