Amendment passed to HR 5252 on VOIP USF possibility
Amendment 8 to HR 5252 passed on voice vote to give the FCC the authority to extend the Universal Service Fund(USF) to VOIP services. That doesn't mean it will. Just that they would be given the authority to do so.
Many speakers on this amendment mentioned that another bill will be considered to revamp the whole USF completely at a later date.

The USF Tax has no purpose anymore since now telco's and ISP's can choose where they can deploy. So extending this tax to VOIP has no purpose what so ever. |
