Answer

The program you are referring to is likely the Lifeline Assistance program, which started in 1985, not 1973. It was initiated to provide subsidized phone services (initially landlines) to low-income households. The program evolved with the technological advancements, and in 2005, it included the option for eligible consumers to receive discounted or free cell phone services instead of landlines.The initiative does not mandate the use of a specific cell phone company; rather, it allows eligible consumers to choose from participating service providers. The primary goal is to ensure that low-income individuals have access to basic communication services, adapting to the changing landscape of telecommunications over time.
