The Federal Communications Commission is starting to get input on its examination of the future of the Universal Service Fund (USF). That input includes whether to make internet service providers (ISPs) pay into the fund, as telecommunications companies currently do, given that the baseline advanced communications service that USF is paying for is increasingly broadband rather than the phone service the program was designed for. Also on the table is whether to make streaming services pay into the subsidy given that they are riding that broadband service into homes.
