Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Ajit Pai says a CBS4 probe of a government cellphone program revealed fraud, waste and abuse in the government’s Lifeline cellphone program that he called “shocking.”

“The CBS4 story highlighted the fact that in places there are no safeguards, workers are signing up people using fraudulent certifications,” said Pai, one of five FCC commissioners.

Vendors typically receive $3 for every phone they are able to give out. In other cases, vendors said a CBS4 producer could simply show someone else’s electronics benefit card in order to secure a free phone and service.

Pai said when he played the report June 18 for the public and his four fellow commissioners, “There was an audible gasp as you were able to get service based on someone else’s EBT card for example.”

The showing came as the FCC commissioners were considering expanding the Lifeline program to broadband so eligible
