FCC To Revamp USF
Posted by Edward G. Lanza on 28 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Telecommunications
The FCC has approved a plan to reform the Universal Service Fund that could lead to new subsidies for broadband services to rural areas.
The plan, when turned into new regulations, will also reform to the way subsidies are paid out to telecommunication providers and put a cap on the rapidly growing USF, which is funded by taxes on consumer’s phone bills.
