Universal Service Charges to 15.3%

The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which as you may have guessed administers the Universal Service Fund, submitted projections of demand and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2010. As a result, the Federal Communications Commission is proposing to set the universal service contribution factor for the second quarter of 2010 at 15.3 percent. If the FCC takes no action regarding the projections of demand and administrative expenses and the proposed contribution factor within the 14-day period following release of this Public Notice, they shall be deemed approved by the FCC.
