mr. wood, congress has established the emergency broadband benefit program in december of last year. it allocated three $2 billion to provide low income consumers up to $50 a month on their broadband bill. why is this important now and what lifeline could provide? mr. wood: thank you mr. chairman. it is important because of the price. i talked about how prices have gone up across the board, especially at the lower end. where ever they are going, we all know that lifelines are important. getting more money into their hand so they can get plans that are available off-the-shelf at a much higher speed or much more robust package is crucial in getting people connected. rep. doyle: are you concerned about objections raised by some that in this program, we just marked up in committee they could target some of the same possible? mr. wood: i wouldn't say concern. the new spv can take account of that. but, even if there is some duplication, i wouldn't sam concerned by it because we know kids need activi
