In Order DA 05-525, the Commission admonished Verizon for violating Section 214(e)(1)(B) and the rules by failing to publicize the availability of Lifeline or Link-Up services "in a manner reasonably designed to reach those likely to qualify" for the services. The Commission found that Verizon failed adequately to publicize Lifeline or Link-Up to low-income residents of 11 tribes in its service area for a period of approximately three years. http://www.telecomlawblog.com/fcc-daily-455-lifelinelinkup-violations-or der-admonishing-verizon.html <http://www.telecomlawblog.com/fcc-daily-455-lifelinelinkup-violations-o rder-admonishing-verizon.html> FCC Memorandum Opinion and Order: http://www.fcc.gov/eb/Orders/2005/DA-05-525A1.html Verizon Gets Slap on Wrist for Failing to Publicize Lifeline and Link-Up: http://www.bennetlaw.com/rss.php#article20 <http://www.bennetlaw.com/rss.php#article20> Valerie Fast Horse Director, IT Coeur d'Alene Tribe ________________________________________________________ The antidote list discussion covers issues related to getting beyond monopoly in telecom.
