The Federal Communications Commission, fresh off its establishment of net neutrality, is seeking to expand a federal aid program, which provides lower-income Americans with free cellphone use, to also include broadband Internet access. The New York Times reported on the FCC’s regulatory proposal:
- On Thursday… Tom Wheeler, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, will circulate a plan to his fellow commissioners suggesting sweeping changes to a $1.7 billion subsidy program charged with ensuring that all Americans have affordable access to advanced telecommunications services, according to senior agency officials.
