Webinar: Lifeline and Strategies for Maintaining Affordable Telecommunications Services
The National Consumer Law Center will be holding a free webinar entitled, Lifeline and Strategies for Maintaining Affordable Telecommunications Services, on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 from 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Eastern.
At the end of 2011 and start of 2012, two large federal universal service programs underwent serious overhauls, the infrastructure subsidies to promote affordability in high cost and hard to reach areas and the Lifeline program, which provides over 7 million low-income households with discounted phone service. This webinar will highlight the major changes to the Lifeline program and the impact of the universal services orders on consumer protections and cover strategies to maintain phone service for seniors and where to go for help.
Speakers:
- Darlene Wong, National Consumer Law Center
- Olivia Wein, National Consumer Law Center
