What is Excess Telecom?

Excess Telecom is a telecom network, classified as MVNO that provides free internet services and free tablets to low-income families. These tablets are distributed under the Affordable Connectivity Program(ACP) which was earlier named Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) or Lifeline.
