I don' think you read that link you posted properly. The proposed expansion of Lifeline to broadband was tied up in court because it was entirely Federally decreed, whereas the actual law passed by congress said that it had to be handled by the states. Pai pulled it back from the courts, and determined that following the law as written was a better idea. Go ahead and kick the FCC and Pai around for screwing up net neutrality, but the Obama-era ULS expansion thing was never going to happen the way the FCC had written those regulations.
