Discussion & Analysis: The intent of the nationwide "Lifeline Across America" programs is to draw more Iow income consumers into federal and state Lifeline and Link-Up programs. These programs provide discounts to Iow income households for the initial installation of phone service (Link-Up) and monthly phone bills (Lifeline). Consumers eligible for Link-Up America will save up to 50 percent on initial installation fees, a savings ranging from $30.00 to $60.00 on their initial hook-up bill. Those eligible for the Lifeline Assistance program will save from $5.25 to $10.00 on their basic monthly telephone service fee based on the state in which the consumers lives. FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin asserts that the "Lifeline Across America" Link-Up and Lifeline programs are excellent with proven track records. The initiative will ensure that Iow income consumers who are eligible are made aware of the programs. Fiscal Impact: The action recommended in this report does not have a fiscal impact on the City.
