Washington state broadband chief Aaron Wheeler said canceling the Digital Equity Act would be a "serious setback" for the state's connectivity goals.

Trump described the Digital Equity Act as a "giveaway" based on race, and vowed to end it. Critics pointed out that he'll need support from Congress.

The Texas Broadband Development Office has announced it's pausing funding from the Digital Equity Act as it awaits guidance from the administration of President Donald Trump.
