The issue arose with regard to the Universal Service Fund (USF), which subsidizes services in rural and other high-cost areas, schools, and libraries. Long-distance, pay, wireless, and regular telephone services pay into the fund. Not determined are how such taxes will affect voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) providers and other telecommunications services. Some of the companies that provide VoIP services already contribute to the USF, but no regulations require such participation."We need to move to collection for the Universal Service Fund that is technology-neutral," said Martin. Congress also is expected to address changes to universal service reform in 2006. http://connect.educause.edu/display/36676#comments Telecommunications Telecommunications Policy Universal Service Fund VOIP Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Mon, 19 Dec 2005 12:11:08 -0600 drupal 36676 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/36570 "The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday that much more work remains to be done to restore telephone and other communications services to the area affected by Hurricane Katrina, and proposed using $211 million from the Universal Service Fund to help in the restoration effort." http://connect.educause.edu/display/36570#comments Telecommunications Policy Universal Service Fund VOIP Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Fri, 16 Sep 2005 12:00:40 -0500 drupal 36570 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/36571 "House committee floats bill to bring cable, DSL under same regulatory policies." http://connect.educause.edu/display/36571#comments Broadband Access and Pricing Broadband Technology Telecommunications Policy Universal Service Fund VOIP Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Fri, 16 Sep 2005 12:04:25 -0500 drupal 36571 at http://connect.educause.edu
