FCC Gives Groups More Time To Oppose CTIA Lifeline Recon Petition

The FCC extended comment deadlines on CTIA's petition for reconsideration of the commission's June Lifeline order, the Wireline Bureau said in an order Wednesday in docket 11-42. Responding to public-interest groups seeking more time, the bureau moved the due date for oppositions to Oct. 8 and for replies to Oct. 19, from Sept. 17 and Sept. 28, respectively. The groups had sought an extension of a month (see 1509100077).
