The USF is a fund to subsidize universal
telephone service to "high cost" areas.
But the concept of Universal Service applies only to POTS telephony, and that's where the Fund is supposed to go.
You are correct...but does the phone company or the FCC really cares...NOPE!
The 1996 Telecomm Act also allocated some USF funds toward broadband deployment for
schools and libraries, but that is its only use for broadband.
The schools and libraries in my area did not get any money for broadband from the USF. We the taxpayers paid for that through our school and county property taxes. Feel like it's double taxation.
