Telecom Lifeline Program Comes Under Fire For Alleged Waste, Fraud, Abuse
The federal Lifeline program is managed by the Federal Communications Commission.

The USF Strike Force will concentrate on protecting the Universal Service Fund, whose disbursements exceeded $8.7 billion in 2012, as well as other funding programs overseen by the FCC.
A new study says the Federal Communications Commission is wasting up to $24,000 per line, per year on phone subsidies going to high-income areas around the U.S. money that is supposed to go to remote, rural areas.
America needs an FCC that is willing and able to address the rapidly changing environment of telecommunications and IP communications can Thomas Wheeler make that happen?
How will Julius Genachowski’s retirement affect the direction of the FCC?
While changes do need to occur, discussing new taxes on broadband during a presidential election is a nonstarter.
There will be no USF or ICC reforms for several years, but if not correctly devised, the impact on the Internet and IP-related services and applications will be devastating.
The FCC has proposed sweeping initiatives to reform the Universal Service Fund and intercarrier compensation as part of a plan to promote affordable broadband service across the nation through a Connect America Fund.
The agency is seeking to modernize a $1.3 billion program that has more than doubled in size over the last decade.
The FCC voted to reform the Universal Service Fund and potentially eliminate the InterCarrier Compensation (ICC) system this week and there were no screams of protest.
