National Telephone Discount Lifeline Awareness Week

In today’s increasingly interconnected world, telecommunications services provide a vital lifeline to emergency services, friends, and family. No American should be offline simply because they cannot afford such services.

NARUC, the Federal Communications Commission, and the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates are designating September 12-18 – the first week after Labor Day – as “National Telephone Discount Lifeline Awareness Week.”
