The FCC's Universal Service Fund is in dire straits, particularly after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found the Fund unconstitutional.  The current USF fee - which is collected from long distance communications providers but not broadband providers - continues to increase, and everyone agrees it is not sustainable.  But it has been difficult to come to a consensus on how to fix the problem.  There are at least four alternatives on the table, and this webinar will explore the pros and cons of these different ideas.
