The CA Utilities Commission cut the rural fund charge, but then raised the overall monthly service total by 25c/mo instead.
Also "Among those who have lobbied for the reduction or elimination of the surcharges are cable television providers. Since phone companies can use the money for anything they want, the cable companies argue, it could be used to provide competing television services." | |

Tulsa, OK | THAT is horseshit. Are you so naive to think that RBOCs don't operate in rural areas? They get TONS of USF money.

| while talking to a local public schools I.T. man, we began discussing the price of the ds-3 that the school system was purchasing from at&t. the price he told me seemed really low to me, so i asked how this could be. he said that the school only pays 25% of it's at&t bill, and the rest of the money, 75% to be exact comes from the usf fund. i don't know if this is how it is set up for all school systems, but that 75% funding seems like it could take a big chunk of usf money. | |

The USF only goes to the great-unwashed. New Jersey gets ZERO. | |
