Law360
In an article published on Jan. 9, 2024, on Law360, partner John Heitmann provided insight into the urgency surrounding funding for the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).

"On Capitol Hill, there have been some folks certainly interested in figuring out whether the program should be tweaked to some extent," Heitmann told Law360. Heitmann also added that the "prospects of a clean ACP funding bill are debatable," and voiced his concern about "an enrollment freeze happening without appropriate notice to all stakeholders."
