The ACLU, a co-chair of the Leadership Conference Media/Telecommunications Task Force, joined this letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai in response to his decisions to revoke the Lifeline Broadband Provider (LBP) designations for nine providers in February. The ACLU has long supported expansion of the Lifeline program, which provides access to phone and broadband services for lower income families. The letter opposes Chairman Pai’s new efforts to scale back implementation, and urges the FCC to resume the designation process immediately.
