Washington, D.C. - Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Communications and Technology Subcommittee Ranking Member Mike Doyle (D-PA), and Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA) responded to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai’s latest action to undermine the Lifeline Program:
“This is another effort by President Trump’s FCC to inflict death by a thousand cuts on the Lifeline program. Through lawyerly maneuvering, the FCC is trying to disguise its efforts to eliminate a system designed to make it easier for anyone who needs access to broadband to get it-no matter where they live. We will continue to fight for this important program that keeps struggling families across the country connected."
