I doubt it. This is not something that has happened on a whim. It's been a painstaking process of data collection and analysis, gathering public comments, etc. There is also lots of bipartisan support.

My organization (Ameelio) works with anyone we can to provide free-of-charge communication services to incarcerated people and their loved ones (and increasingly legal and medical services), and we have almost a perfect split between "red" and "blue" states/areas. Regardless of your priorities, there's somethign important in this. Whether you believe that it's a fundamental right that people are being denied, or whether you care only about tax dollars (keeping people in touch with the loved ones dramatically reduces recidivism, which saves a lot of tax dollars), there's something to love about this. There will no doubt be some pains as the industry readjusts, but this isn't going to be reversed just because a new president of the opposing party takes office.
