  2. LIFELINE GOALS • Increase awareness among eligible consumers. • Focus on consumers who would not have telephone service without Link-Up and Lifeline. • Develop a sustainable, long-term plan.

  3. Outreach – from large events to small meetings • Outreach efforts have switched from large festivals and events of attendees to smaller, targeted meetings • Meetings are held at community centers and low-income housing developments • Supported by local community leaders and legislators • Opportunities for one-on-one interaction

  5. Outreach – Small scale

  6. LIFELINE OUTLOOK • Verizon’s policy on non-basic service bundles is consistent with state and federal law • Simplified Enrollment – 9,043 customers enrolled as of 3/10/06 • Funding – ETCs should be allowed to recover costs. • Expansion of criteria would do little to accomplish PSC objectives • No need for additional subsidization due to increased competition and increasing numbers of CLECs and wireless providers seeking ETC status • There are no barriers to providing affordable telephone service in Florida
