Who says. Gov't welfare to either persons or corporations is disliked by many on here. Of course, we are regularly attacked for those views.

Ahh the selective memory.. must be a trait of a particular party.
Let us not forget how upset Americans were at the tarp bailouts.

| Frontier, Vs Oil companies?, Car companies? Banks? Insurance you could find worse companies to feed corporate welfare to..
that said.. misuse of government money in Telecom is legendary, so there would need to be a SCTRICT line-by-line approval of what every cent spent does so that we don't see unnecessary equipment purchases, bloated labor & equipment charges, and fraud-waste-and-abuse of grant money. people need to know what X amount of dollars competitively buys in a given marketplace and see to it that there is a prudent value for the $. 100% of the funds allocated need to be posted online for public scrutiny... no just for frontier, but all USF and grant money. |

I was under the impression that the use of the USF has been modified to include extending broadband coverage to rural areas?

I thought USF was only leveraged against voice services and not data services. I've never paid it with broadband only service. |

| Predictable The telecommunication barons win again with yet another welfare check. Now come on, I understand that there are places without broadband, and this is an issue that should of been solved. Yet, there is always something.
It seems awfully familiar that bullies get more money for nothing. :/ |

I don't think they increased USF, but redirected the funds away from voice services to data services.

If the public is paying for it then the public should own it at least at the wholesale level. |

Re: Good old socialism Heed your own advice. |

| Huh? Why are we paying to build this out anyway? People live in the sticks for a reason. If they wanted the full amenities of being in the mainstream areas then they would have chosen those areas. It is bogus to spend our $ to provide access where there may be no demand to warrant this and to a sub-section of the population who chose to live outside the range of these types of amenities! |
