FCC Seeks Comment on Lifeline Minimum Service Standards Petition

The Federal Communications Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau seeks comment on a Joint Petition to pause the implementation of scheduled updates to the Lifeline minimum service standards and support amounts. Petitioners request that the Bureau pause both the scheduled update to the minimum service standard for Lifeline-supported mobile broadband service and the scheduled reduction in the support amount for Lifeline-supported mobile voice service, both of which would otherwise take effect on December 1, 2019.
