Yesterday at CAGWs policy breakfast, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai proposed four simple steps towards ending waste, fraud, and abuse in the Lifeline or Obamaphone program: 1. Put the program on a budget. 2. Reduce financial incentive for people to commit fraud. 3. Empower states to release the program and have power over administering it. 4. Review the size of the current Lifeline subsidy, and enforce proof of eligibility. Commissioner Pai stated Lifeline wasn’t designed to give people free phone service, but to provide low income consumers who genuinely need it a discount on phone service.
