The Oklahoma Corporation Commission backs TracFone’s Wireline Bureau petition to be able to retain data used to establish Lifeline eligibility, said an OCC filing posted Tuesday to FCC docket 12-23 (http://bit.ly/1fFL2DP). Other eligible telecom carriers in Oklahoma also should be waived from prohibitions on data retention, said OCC. “Providing for document retention, as requested by TracFone in its petition” would let the Public Utility Division “more readily identify ... errors which furthers the goal to ensure enrollment of only eligible Lifeline subscribers,” said OCC.
