NTCA's Shirley Bloomfield on the future of the Universal Service Fund

On Light Reading's The Divide, Shirley Bloomfield, CEO of NTCA—The Rural Broadband Association, talks to host Nicole Ferraro about the fallout from the fifth circuit court's ruling this summer on the constitutionality of the Universal Service Fund (USF) and what comes next. They also discuss why the USF—which funds high-cost and low-income broadband programs like Lifeline, E-Rate and more—is crucial for rural service providers, families and students, and what would happen if it went away.
