TIA Supports FCC Proposals for Upgrades to Universal Service Fund

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) vigorously supports pending Federal Communications Commission proposals that call for upgrades to the Universal Service Fund (USF). These upgrades include the establishment of a separate funding mechanism for broadband services. The TIA believes that these changes will facilitate widespread build-out of broadband networks throughout the United States as well as ensure that consumers in underserved and unserved areas can also benefit from next-generation products and services. In its comments, the TIA urges the Commission to create a separate technology and a competitively-neutral broadband fund that will grow as funds are transitioned from support for narrowband services.
