For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI
On the FCC’s Latest Action Against Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in the Lifeline Program
WASHINGTON, July 15, 2016.—Today’s consent decree with Blue Jay Wireless for improperly 
receiving Lifeline subsidies confirms that the FCC’s Lifeline program still contains waste, fraud, and 
abuse.  I can confirm that Blue Jay Wireless is one target of my ongoing investigation and that I flagged 
further suspicious conduct for the Enforcement Bureau’s investigation earlier this year.  I will continue to 
work with my colleagues, the Enforcement Bureau, the Inspector General, and the Universal Service 
Administrative Company to end the abuse of taxpayer money by unscrupulous wireless resellers.
