US unveils plan to subsidize broadband for poor

[marty f]

""The top US telecom regulator on Thursday unveiled plans to subsidize high-speed Internet for low-income households, saying the service was essential for people trying to better themselves.

Federal Communications chairman Tom Wheeler proposed the plan to overhaul the "Lifeline" program which provides low-cost telephone service to include online access as well.



This statement really pissed me off


"A world of broadband 'haves' and 'have-nots' is a world where none of us will have the opportunity to enjoy the full fruits of what broadband has to offer."

So get out there and get a **** ING JOB!! you want to enjoy the fruit of life like the rest of us, then get a **** ing job like the rest of us!!

""Wheeler said nearly half of low-income Americans have had to cancel or suspend smartphone services due to financial hardship.""

Its called LIFE! deal with it and TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Earlier this year, Senator David Vitter of Louisiana called Lifeline "one of the most corrupt federal programs in recent memory" and called for tougher efforts to curb fraud and abuse
