National Coverage, Local Providers

Government assistance is federal, but the companies that hand out the laptops are local. Find out who serves your neighborhood.

Why does it vary by state?

Just like cell phone towers, participating providers have specific "license areas." A company like AirTalk might be huge in California but have no network in rural Maine.

The Good News: Every state has at least one major provider funded by the Lifeline or ACP program.
