| The Digital Divide Elimination Fund Program was created as a special fund in the |
| State Treasury to enhance digital service. All monies in the fund shall be used by |
| the commission to fund the construction of facilities within communities |
| throughout Illinois. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Community |
| Affairs will issue grants to various communities based upon their needs. |

| If you wish to participate in the program to foster the elimination of the Digital |
| Divide you may do so by volunteering to contribute a fixed amount that will be |
| included with your monthly telephone bill. To enroll in this program, complete |
| the contribution form and return it with your telephone bill payment. |
