- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a notice of apparent liability against T-Mobile's subsidiary, Metro by T-Mobile, for allegedly violating the Commission's Lifeline program rules. The FCC claims that Metro by T-Mobile enrolled ineligible consumers in the Lifeline program, which provides discounted telecommunications services to low-income consumers.

- According to the FCC, Metro by T-Mobile failed to properly verify the eligibility of Lifeline subscribers, leading to the enrollment of ineligible consumers. The FCC has proposed a $5.2 million fine against the company for these alleged violations.

- The FCC's action highlights the importance of compliance with the Lifeline program's rules and regulations. The Commission's enforcement efforts aim to ensure the integrity of the program and prevent the misuse of taxpayer-funded subsidies intended to assist low-income individuals in accessing essential telecommunications services.
