This episode features Dr. Paroma Sanyal, principal at the Brattle Group, a consultancy working on a range of issues including telecom, finance and consumer protection. We discuss a study released by the Brattle Group last month exploring the economic benefits of broadband and the massive economic savings offered by the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which ran out of funding in 2024. For healthcare alone, the Brattle Group found that, by enabling access to telehealth, the ACP would have saved an estimated $28.9 billion to $29.5 billion in annual healthcare costs, or "quadruple the annual funding" ($7.3 billion) to run the ACP.
