Pause Lifeline MSS Increase: GCI

Issue a waiver pausing "the increase in mobile Lifeline capacity" scheduled for Dec. 1, GCI asked the FCC in a letter posted Thursday in docket 11-42. GCI said Lifeline providers and consumer advocates oppose the annual increase requirement and formula. Issue a waiver earlier than in previous years because "the late release of the waivers creates challenges for implementation and compliance," the Alaska telco asked.
