New York law requiring broadband providers to offer cheap plans to people with low incomes will take effect this week .

The state law requires Internet providers to provide $ 15- or $ 20 -per-month service to low-income people.

A US appeals court upheld the law in April 2024 , reversing the ruling of a district judge who blocked it in 2021 .

The Supreme Court last month decided not to hear the broadband industry's challenge.
