"By unanimous consent, we are now authorized to deliver wireless telephone service to eligible New York families under the FCC Lifeline Program," stated KonaTel Chairman and CEO Sean McEwen.

McEwen added, "It's encouraging to see states like New York continuing to support the Lifeline program so authorized carriers may carry on delivering needed basic cellular service to many underserved and forgotten communities, particularly in rural areas of the state. The Lifeline program is essential to ensuring that all Americans have the opportunities and security provided by basic phone and internet service, and we appreciate New York's confidence in our ability to offer additional options for its residents.
