Re: Where Did All The Money Go?

i'm skeptical. i'd like to see the books showing what USF has been received from taxpayers like us and what is spent for broadband for schools and libraries.

the books will show the amount received is MUCH greater than what is needed. hurray for useless USF fees!

The USF is a slush fund for large Telephone companies. They receive all the proceeds from the USF. It is a a tax for a private corporation. The rate is set based on the expenses the Telephone companies say it costs them to provide internet access to schools and Libraries. Since there is zero oversight, the program is wrought with fraud and waste.
