To rigorously test how best to use
Lifeline to support broadband adoption,
the pilots will gather data and provide
analysis on a wide a range of geograph-
ic, technological, and programmatic
variables. Projects include five wire-
less broadband projects, seven wireline
broadband projects, and two offering
wireline or wireless technologies. Seven
will test discounted service in rural
areas, including two on Tribal lands,
and seven will test discounted service in
urban and suburban areas. Variables that
will be experimentally tested include the
use of digital literacy training, equipment
types, subsidy levels, speed ranges, and
usage limits.
The Pilot Program will run for 18
months, beginning on February 1.
Winners have three months to set up
the pilots and must provide one year
of subsidized service. The pilots must
complete data collection and analysis in
the final three months. Following is a list
