COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Across Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Sky, we are working hard to do everything we can to support our customers, employees, and communities during this unprecedented time. KEEPING CUSTOMERS CONNECTED: Keeping the internet accessible and reliable is more important than ever. Our technology and engineering teams are working tirelessly to support our network operations 24/7 to ensure network performance and reliability. OFFERING INTERNET ESSENTIALS FREE TO NEW CUSTOMERS: Eligible new customers will receive 60 days of free Internet service through Internet Essentials, the nation’s largest, most comprehensive internet adoption program for low-income households. CONNECTING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES: We’re partnering with non-profit partners and city leaders to create 1,000+ safe spaces where students can connect to the Internet and participate in distance learning. SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES: Comcast RISE, a multi-year, multi-faceted initiative was designed to help thousands of small businesses impacted by COVID-19. The program expanded to help Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) businesses at the end of November. INCREASING ACCESS TO NEWS & INFORMATION: Our NBC and Sky News teams are working around the clock to keep the world informed and we’re bringing that news and information to more people than ever.
