Un grupo de senadores dem\u00f3cratas critic\u00f3 el jueves al jefe de la Comisi\u00f3n Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) por su propuesta de reducir un programa que ayuda a que el servicio telef\u00f3nico y de banda ancha sea m\u00e1s asequible para los hogares de bajos ingresos.<\/span><\/p>\n

La carta de los senadores apunta a una propuesta presentada por el presidente de la FCC, Ajit Pai, en noviembre que reducir\u00eda significativamente el alcance de los beneficios del programa Lifeline, del que dependen aproximadamente 6,5 millones de personas en comunidades pobres para obtener acceso a Internet de alta velocidad. Ocho millones de personas son elegibles para el programa de subsidios.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs su obligaci\u00f3n para con el p\u00fablico estadounidense, como presidente de la Comisi\u00f3n Federal de Comunicaciones, mejorar el programa Lifeline y garantizar que m\u00e1s estadounidenses puedan pagar el acceso y tengan medios de acceso al servicio telef\u00f3nico y de banda ancha\u201d, dijo un grupo de senadores. escribi\u00f3 en la carta, que fue encabezada por el Sen. <\/span>jeff merkley<\/a><\/span> (D-Oreg\u00f3n)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cSu propuesta logra exactamente lo contrario: quita recursos de las manos de los estadounidenses m\u00e1s vulnerables\u201d, escribieron.<\/span><\/p>\n

Otros signatarios de la carta fueron <\/span>Sens. kamala harris<\/a><\/span> (D-California), lijadoras de bernie<\/a><\/span> (I-Vt.), kirsten gillibrand<\/a><\/span> (DN.Y.), ed markey<\/a><\/span> (D-Massachusetts), Ron Wyden<\/a><\/span> (D-Oreg\u00f3n), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), elizabeth warren<\/a><\/span> (D-Massachusetts), dick durbin<\/a><\/span> (D-Illinois) y Cory Booker<\/a><\/span> (DN.J.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Los senadores se\u00f1alaron que el plan de Pai para frenar Lifeline da\u00f1ar\u00eda desproporcionadamente a familias, veteranos y personas de color. En noviembre, 56 dem\u00f3cratas en la C\u00e1mara liderados por <\/span>representantes gwen moore<\/a><\/span> (D-Wisconsin) y Gregorio Meeks<\/a><\/span> (DN.Y.)<\/span> atac\u00f3 el plan de Pai, <\/span>citando preocupaciones similares.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Pai quiere llevar la jurisdicci\u00f3n del programa a los estados, lo que \u00e9l cree que frenar\u00e1 el "despilfarro, el fraude y el abuso que contin\u00faan plagando el programa Lifeline".<\/span><\/p>\n

A los dem\u00f3cratas y otros cr\u00edticos les preocupa que los estados que manejan el programa Lifeline lo debiliten significativamente.<\/span><\/p>\n

En su carta del jueves, los senadores tambi\u00e9n presionaron a Pai para obtener respuestas sobre sus planes para Lifeline, incluida informaci\u00f3n sobre cu\u00e1ntas personas finalmente perder\u00e1n el acceso a Internet debido al plan y cu\u00e1l es el plan alternativo de la agencia para ayudar a los estadounidenses que viven en reservas tribales, zonas rurales. Estadounidenses, veteranos, ancianos y personas de bajos ingresos.<\/p>\n

\u201cEn lugar de cortar el programa, debemos asegurarnos de que Lifeline llegue a m\u00e1s estadounidenses que necesitan acceso a los servicios de comunicaci\u00f3n\u201d, escribieron.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
