Today's Story Highlights

FCC Proposes Subsidy to Close Broadband Gap

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler on Tuesday announced a $2.25 billion plan to
expand the federal Lifeline subsidy program to help low-income consumers
afford broadband Internet service. Lifeline, which currently allows low-
income consumers to buy mobile phone service at a discount, would let
them buy standalone broadband starting Dec. 1 for $9.25 per month or
apply the discount to bundled services.

White House Proposes $3B IT Update Fund

The Obama administration is seeking $3.1 billion for a modernization
fund to update federal IT resources that need to be replaced with more
efficient systems. The fund would bolster the government's annual
spending on IT, which is set for a modest increase to $89.8 billion in
the administration's proposed budget for fiscal 2017. Upgrading older
systems has been a concern for some time.

Tech Titans Tackle the Trump Problem

High-profile Silicon Valley executives last week attended a secret
summit with GOP leaders at the American Enterprise Institute's World
Forum in a bid to put the brakes on the political campaign of Donald
Trump, according to a report published Monday. Trump has dominated the
Republican presidential race with highly charged rhetoric and out-of-
the-box campaign promises.

Through the CRM Lens

This is delicate and I will be scrupulously neutral in these paragraphs
so as to offend no one, but I thought it would be fun to attempt an
interpretation of the current political climate from the perspective and
sensibilities of CRM. It will be different from any other analysis you
might have come across because I do not wish to discuss candidates. I am
all about the customer.
