By Robert Stacy McCain on 6.15.09 @ 10:19AM

In October, a truck driver traveling through a low-income district of Jacksonville, Fla., saw a billboard advertising a program that offered free cell-phones for the poor. The truck driver tipped me, and I reported it on my blog.

Sunday, the New York Times finally did a feature story about Lifeline, a federally-subsidized, federally-mandated program.

The blogosphere is excited about this story. Do I get any credit for my scoop? Of course not. Because I suck.
