El acceso mejorado a Internet ayudar\u00eda a las familias estadounidenses a trabajar y aprender mejor desde casa y acceder a recursos vitales de telesalud.<\/p>\n<p>El programa de servicio federal Lifeline, administrado por la Comisi\u00f3n Federal de Comunicaciones, brinda servicios de voz, texto e Internet celular gratuitos y con descuento a 9 millones de estadounidenses de bajos ingresos.<\/p>\n<p>En una serie de cartas a los proveedores de servicios de Internet de Lifeline, los senadores escribieron: \u201cDurante esta crisis de salud p\u00fablica, es imperativo que los proveedores de Internet, como su empresa, act\u00faen para garantizar que las millones de familias estadounidenses que dependen del programa Lifeline no sean dejados atr\u00e1s por una brecha digital cada vez mayor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El servicio inal\u00e1mbrico b\u00e1sico Lifeline actualmente solo proporciona 3 GB de datos por mes, datos suficientes para leer correos electr\u00f3nicos y acceder a la web, pero no lo suficiente para teletrabajar o acceder a recursos de telesalud. Muchos proveedores de Lifeline tampoco habilitan las capacidades de punto de acceso Wi-Fi para sus dispositivos, lo que impide que los ni\u00f1os y las familias usen dispositivos con pantallas m\u00e1s grandes, como tabletas, computadoras port\u00e1tiles y computadoras de escritorio para trabajar o aprender de manera efectiva desde el hogar.<\/p>\n<p>Junto a Wyden y Merkley en la serie de cartas del jueves estaban los senadores estadounidenses Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Kirsten Gillibrand, DN.Y., Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Jack Reed, DR.I., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Kamala D. Harris, D-Calif., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Bob Menendez, DN.J., Tammy Duckworth, D- Ill., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Benjamin L. Cardin, D-Md., Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., Cory Booker, DN.J., Chris Van Hollen, D -Md., Patty Murray, D-Wash., Maggie Hassan, DN.H., y Jeanne Shaheen, DN.H.<\/p>\n<p>Los senadores solicitaron a los proveedores de servicios de Lifeline que tomen una serie de medidas para expandir su servicio:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Habilite el acceso al punto de acceso para todos los suscriptores de Lifeline, para que puedan conectar computadoras port\u00e1tiles o tabletas a tel\u00e9fonos inteligentes que admitan esta funci\u00f3n;<\/li>\n<li>Garantizar que todos los suscriptores de Lifeline tengan acceso al servicio 4G, donde est\u00e9 disponible, con al menos la misma velocidad y prioridad de servicio que otros revendedores de servicios m\u00f3viles de esa red ofrecen a sus clientes;<\/li>\n<li>Proporcionar actualizaciones sin costo a los suscriptores existentes que usan tel\u00e9fonos inteligentes m\u00e1s antiguos proporcionados por el proveedor de Lifeline que carecen de la funcionalidad de punto de acceso;<\/li>\n<li>Permitir que los consumidores transfieran parte o la totalidad de sus asignaciones de minutos de voz y datos de un mes al siguiente;<\/li>\n<li>Trabajar con su operador de red, como AT&amp;T, Verizon o T-Mobile, quienes se comprometieron a ayudar a las familias estadounidenses durante esta crisis, para aumentar sustancialmente la asignaci\u00f3n de datos mensual m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de 3 GB, sin costo para los suscriptores de Lifeline; y&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Proporcione a los suscriptores instrucciones claras sobre c\u00f3mo acceder a la capacidad de punto de acceso de su tel\u00e9fono inteligente, incluso a trav\u00e9s de mensajes de texto.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cComo proveedor de Lifeline, tiene una oportunidad \u00fanica de mejorar la educaci\u00f3n, la salud y los resultados econ\u00f3micos de sus suscriptores durante esta pandemia\u201d, continuaron los senadores.<\/p>\n<p>Los senadores solicitaron respuestas de los proveedores de servicios de Internet antes del 8 de abril de 2020. Los senadores enviaron cartas individuales a los siguientes proveedores de Lifeline: Airvoice Wireless LLC, American Broadband and Telecommunications Company, Amerimex Communications Corp., Assist Wireless LLC, Boomerang Wireless LLC, Cellular One, Cintex Wireless LLC, Global Connection Inc of America, I-Wireless, Q-Link Wireless LLC, Sage Telecom Communications LLC, TAG Mobile LLC, Telrite Corporation, Tempo Telecom LLC, TerraCom Inc., TracFone, TruConnect Communications Inc., True Wireless Inc., US Cellular, Virgin Mobile USA y Yourtel America Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Una copia digital del texto de la carta est\u00e1 disponible.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyden.senate.gov\/download\/040220-wyden-covid19-lifeline-airvoice-letter\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (KTVZ) &#8212; Sens.
