dammit, leave VOIP alone!

first, let me ask a question: if VOIP providers have to pay into the USF, shouldn't they use that money to buy people computers and get them internet connections?

Why can't they let VOIP alone? What evidence is there that it needs regulation (other than the telcos wanting if regulated out of existence, if possible). Are people being ripped off? Has anybody died because they only had VOIP and couldn't get true 911?

I agree. If they start paying into the USF, some of that money better start going to the companies providing the broadband on which VOIP rides.

While that may be true if you have Telco-sponsored DSL, do the cable companies get to suckle from the USF mammary?
