What Karl didn't mention here is that for the first time ever, the USAC has budgeted more money for auditing than any other individual operating cost.
Doesn't matter because the programs funded by the USF were built on top of a fundamentally flawed foundation. The GAO needs to "bite the bullet" and tell the members of Congress in no uncertain terms that the USAC needs to be torn down or imploded. Perhaps then what ever is worth saving of the programs can be moved to more accountable administration within an existing government department.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Auditing-22325163 Fri, 01 May 2009 15:17:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Auditing-22322989 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Auditing-22322989 Fri, 01 May 2009 08:24:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Auditing-22321733 said by viper3431:

Did you look at the link I posted? The numbers were clearly printed in black and white.
So you don't think there is any waste/fraud whatsoever going on at the schools allegedly receiving those funds, and, even if there is, that's A-OK with you because even if the entire USF program is a scam/joke, the very few schools that may be the recipients of the USF outweigh any oversight. Sorry, I'm not with you on that count. The entire fund needs to go away or else have some serious auditing and accountability processes implemented.

Now there is most certainly abuse of the program by providers and applicants but that is what the auditing is for. I'm also familiar with that process....in case you were wondering.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Auditing-22319898 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:53:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Auditing-22319833 said by viper3431:

Highly doubtful. The USF is a universal slush fund. Money goes into the fund and walks out in executive management's pockets. Period. It will never be tracked/audited in any meaningful way because this particular gravy train has been rolling along for over a decade with zero oversight and only the GAO to point out what needs to be done.
