CTIA - The Wireless Association®: Universal Service Fund
The universal service system should draw equally from telecommunications consumers and make support available to all eligible competitors. At the same time, the Universal Service Fund (USF) should be no bigger than necessary to achieve the goals outlined by Congress. Consumers receive the most benefit from a limited USF system that ensures competitors have equal access to support. The universal service fund – which was about $7 billion in 2005 – is paid for by consumers and is intended to ensure that consumers in rural areas, low-income consumers, schools, libraries, and rural healthcare providers have access to affordable and high-quality telecommunications and information services.
