NaLA Petitions for Reconsideration of FCC Data Collection Order

The FCC data collection order is "fundamentally flawed," the National Lifeline Association said in a petition for reconsideration in docket 20-437. The order required the nine largest Lifeline providers to submit five years of network cost data for the Wireline Bureau's Lifeline market report. NaLA argued the order is "unduly burdensome" and would "divert significant time, money, staff, and other resources to even attempt to respond" to "sprawling data demands."
