Lifeline Providers Contest Order Revoking Lifeline Broadband Provider ETC Status

FreedomPop met with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai’s Senior Counsel on February 3, 2017, to contest the order revoking all previously-granted Lifeline broadband provider designations, including the one granted to FreedomPop. FreedomPop asserted the order is flawed and that, at minimum, this matter deserved further consideration so the FCC could provide a transparent and timely path forward for willing service providers looking to bring innovative and competitive broadband services to eligible Lifeline consumers. Boomerang Wireless and KonaTel also met with Chairman Pai’s Counsel and expressed the same concerns regarding revocation of their designations.
