ByBrian FungMarch 31

Federal regulators have approved a historic expansion of subsidies for the poor, fleshing out for the first time a

set of Reagan-era discounts on phone service to include home Internet access.

The 3-2 vote by the Federal ommunications ommission Thursday !ill let roughly "# million $mericans on

food stamps, %edicaid or other federal assistance register for and use an existing benefit !orth &'.2( a

month to purchase broadband service, either as part of a voice bundle on cellular or fixed net!or)s, or on a

standalone basis !ith no voice plan attached. *f those eligible for +ifeline, more than 3 million have no

Internet service, according to federal officials.

$t a time !hen many $mericans rely on the Internet to apply for obs, ta)e educational courses or loo) up

information online, a lac) of affordable service prevents the countrys poorest from accessing the same

opportunities as their !ealthier peers, F hairman Tom /heeler has said. Thursdays measure to update the

subsidy program, )no!n as +ifeline, aims to narro! that gap.

0Its a simple concept1 to provide assistance so that lo!-income $mericans can access the dominant

communications net!or) of the day,0 /heeler said.

The move does not mean poor $mericans !ill pay &'.2( a month for Internet. Rather, the program !or)s by

providing a &'.2(-a-month credit that can then be applied to!ard broadband, voice service or a mix of both.

The decision had broad support from consumer groups as !ell as the telecom industry, !hich !as see)ing a

more streamlined program. ut before it had a chance to pass, a series of frantic, eleventh-hour negotiations

turned the scheduled vote into a desperate scramble by emocrats to preserve their coalition. The last-minute

issues very nearly derailed the measure, according to people familiar !ith the matter.

$t the center of the fight !as a defection by emocratic ommissioner %ignon lyburn 4 !ho spent the hours

leading up to the vote hammering out a different compromise !ith Republicans than the one favored by

/heeler, the agencys top emocrat.
