| Yeah, the USF is already a giant slush fund where the Telcos get to "Provide" phone service to rural areas and broadband to schools, libraries, etc and then charge an arm and a leg to the USF which is funded by customers of not only the Telco but wireless customers, etc etc
The Telcos love the USF. Expanding it would make it even more of a cash cow. There's little or no oversight or regulation, so they basically can charge anything they like to these projects.
Imagine if you worked a job where you could write your own bill and whatever you put down was what you got paid. Well, there you go.
Expanding this is a bad idea, as it was never implemented properly in the first place.
