The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Saturday passed a proposed expansion of the 'Lifeline' program for low-income Americans, wherein they will be provided with broadband and voice services at $9.25 per month. With a proposed yearly budget of $2.25 billion, the program will offer 500 MB of monthly 3G data, which will be increased to 1 GB by December 2017.
