If ACP Goes Away, Wireless Carrier Wants Jump in Lifeline Support for Tribal Areas
Smith Bagley, Inc., is asking the FCC to provide more money to the Tribal Lifeline benefit.
WASHINGTON, April 9, 2024 – A wireless carrier serving Tribal areas in the southwest is seeking a boost in federal funding to assist thousands of households close to losing their $75 monthly benefit under the Affordable Connectivity Program.
“The loss of Tribal ACP will have devastating impacts as many residents will find high-quality broadband connections to be priced out of their reach, with few or no options to connect,” said Smith Bagley, Inc. in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission last Friday.
