Universal Service Fund!!!! We all pay into it. What is it for? Help tel cos cut cost to deploy into the rural areas. (Oh, I forgot. It is a fund used to lobby against deployment to rural areas. AKA: Slush Fund)
It is for POTS the last regulate vestige of Ma Bell days. The great unwashed can get POTS.

I know USF, Verizon New Jersey pays millions upon millions and gets back ZERO.
