OK, let's see them adjust their advertising to reflect that their product is not a "phone service'.
I am against the USF for any company. But if the ILECs & CLECs have to pay, I see no reason why Vonage shouldn't as well. It is still a telephone call no matter how it is routed. VOIP should get no special exemption.
I agree. Everybody pays or NO ONE DOES! Get rid of the USF since it amounts to rural Telco extorting people that live in cities and 'burbs. While we are at it, eliminate that stupid FCC Connection Charge too. It is revenue NOT a Tax.

Vonage advertises, including the mail I get, as a telephone service NOT a data service.

Of course, we can always throw Kevin Martin off a cliff without a parachute. Think of the Children!!!
do you even know what VoIP means = Voice over Internet Protocol (UDP packets)
