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.
From: »www.fcc.gov/wcb/tapd/universal_service/

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.

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
