THE BIG STORY

The Obama administration is finalizing a plan to offer subsidies to help more families access broadband Internet.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to approve the measure later this month, The Hill's Mario Trujillo reports:

Nearly 40 million households will be eligible for small monthly Internet subsidies after the Federal Communications Commission approves final regulations at the end of the month.

The FCC on Tuesday said it would vote this month to expand the $1.7 billion federal Lifeline program, which currently offers monthly subsidies for phone and basic cell service. The program will expand to allow people to help defray the cost of Internet service.

Proposed rules were approved last year, and the final order was being circulated to all five commissioners on Tuesday.

All three Democratic commissioners have expressed support for the expansion, but Republicans point to lingering waste and inefficiencies in the Lifeline program.

The rules will not increase the $9.25 reimbursement and would keep in place the limit of one subsidy per household, meaning eligible customers could either spend it on Internet, phone service or bundled service. But the aim is to transition the program away from voice and to Internet service.

The current program has an estimated 13 million household subscribers. That is only about a third of the estimated 39.7 million households that are eligible, according to the Universal Service Administrative Company.
