ISPs Can't Get Support If EBB Subs Not NLAD-Enrolled

FCC staff said emergency broadband benefit program providers can’t receive support if their subscribers aren't enrolled in the National Lifeline Accountability Database. The Wireline Bureau denied Lumen and LICT petitions to be reimbursed for discounts passed to their subscribers not enrolled in NLAD by the snapshot date. Allowing the petitions "is not in the public interest and unavoidably threatens the integrity" of EBB, the order said in Tuesday's Daily Digest. The bureau denied Lumen and LICT's request for one-month delay.
