WTA Files Comments in Support of NTCA’s Lifeline Petition
On August 30th, WTA filed comments in support of NTCA’s petition to temporarily waive the Commission’s new minimum service standards for the Lifeline program. WTA agreed with NTCA’s assessment that the newly increased 18/2 Mbps standard will result in increased costs for Lifeline customers, reversing previous broadband adoptions gains and running counter to the goals of the Lifeline program.
