Re: Go figure!
I was under the impression that USF was only supposed to be used for telephone service- i.e., using it to provide DSL would technically be a misuse. | |

The goals of Universal Service, as mandated by the 1996 Act, are to promote the availability of quality services at just, reasonable, and affordable rates; increase access to advanced telecommunications services throughout the Nation; advance the availability of such services to all consumers, including those in low income, rural, insular, and high cost areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged in urban areas.

Well, it needs to be changed and DSL "Not" Uverse needs to be mandatory for a teleco to build out. Uverse should come in second priority from our monopotelico company's. Satellite TV imo works damn good for spreading out cable tv broadcasting, but not nowhere near good enough for internet demands and use's.. DSL should be available anywhere a phone line is provided.. Complain all you want, this is my belief for this current day and time's needs.. They all recieve too much in government benefits to not have already built out their networks to everyone..
Teleco employee's, your going to argue, but i'm sorry your underpaid and probably overworked for your services. But the upper foodchain is robbing us all.. | |

Totally wrong, your talking about "Universal Service" which is that little zip code game the FCC plays. Thats just a congressional mission, its not law.
Here is all that the Universal Service Fund will pay for »edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2004/···.101.htm | |
