FCC Chairman Pai Responds to Congress on Tribal Lands Lifeline Program

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai sent a letter to Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA) and 31 other members of Congress on June 1, 2018, to respond to their letter that urged the FCC to halt its effort to cut off support for low-income tribal families through proposed changes to the Tribal Lands Lifeline program. Chairman Pai said closing the digital divide is one of his top priorities, and said claims that the changes in the 2017 Lifeline Reform Order would cut off support to tribal members living in urban areas and the FCC did not consult with tribes before adopting the Order are false.
