On July 1, 2019, the Wireline Competition Bureau (“Bureau”) released a Public Notice seeking comment on a Joint Petition (“Petition”) to pause the scheduled updates to the Lifeline minimum service standards and support amounts pending a forthcoming marketplace study (WC Docket No. 11-42). The Petition requests that the Bureau pause both (1) the increase in the minimum service standard for Lifeline-supported mobile broadband service and; (2) the reduction in the support amount for Lifeline-supported mobile voice service, both of which are scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2019.
