Actually, the FCC doesn't manage the money or issue the reports on how it is spent.

If you really want to know, visit Universal Service Administrative Company's Web Site. They are the group charged with keeping track of how much is spent by state by category (High Cost, Rural Health Care, Low Income and Schools/Libraries )

The web site includes the make-up of their board of directors as well as the names of the leadership team.

They provide a Whistleblower Hotline to report failures if you know anyone who wants to go on record instead of just whining.

And their reports dating back to 1998 are available for anyone you know who wants to dismount from a soapbox and do a bit of reading.

If you don't want to do any digging, the annual reports from 1999 through 2005 are Here. The annual report for 2006 should be filed with both Congress and the FCC by the end of March.

I won't say whether I think USF is right or wrong, but I certainly don't think it is being managed in secret.

if I remember correctly, the funds have been audited before, horrible problems were found and nothing was done.

people don't think the FCC is tracking these funds because there are mountains of evidence of waste, fraud and abuse and the FCC never does anything that makes any difference (if they are doing anything at all).
