There is probably *some* truth here..."EBTC blames their rate hikes on a reduction in FCC USF funding"
Silly little phone company. Didn't they know that the USF is really meant for at&t and verizon?
This is what the Universal Slush Fund is supposed to help with. |

ATT and Verizon get alot less out of USF than indy/small telcos. Small telcos can bill alot more classes of corporate expenses than ATT and Verizon can. |

All I'd say is "PROVE IT". USF is completely un-audited. Any money the telco collects, they keep; they are not writing checks to the FCC or any "USF" branch office. They. Keep. The. Money. (the fee is what they are allowed to charge to cover the costs of providing Universal Service™) |
