I heard about this on Rush's show today and did a little research. This article is nearly two years old, from a Michigan newspaper. It is asinine.

“Clients often obviously can’t afford phones — even landlines,” Crisp said.

Funds come from wireless service providers who are required to contribute. For Sprint, that comes from the $2 to $3 added to customers’ monthly bills.

Coincidentally, a person who came to where I work this very day showed me his cell phone and said he got it for free. I asked him how, and he said he got it through a government program. So whether that article is old or not, there are other programs like it out there. And people know just where to find them.
