said by rachelsfx :All the RBOCs are lobbying to end the USF. Where did you read this?
The RBOC's have been lobbying for years that their competition (first cellular and wireless, and now Cable and VOIP) should pay INTO this fund (ie, EXPAND IT) because the fund is paid TO them to reimburse their 'costs' of providing services.
I have yet to hear of one Bell that is lobbying to remove the USF. -- "Regulatory capitalism is when companies invest in lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians, instead of plant, people, and customer service." - former FCC Chairman William Kennard (A real FCC Chairman, unlike the current Corporate Spokesperson in the job!) |
