Promised FCC deadlines for Universal Service Fund and intercarrier compensation overhaul nhave been put off, and Commissioner Robert McDowell said he’s worried that a chance for nchange may “slip away.” In an appearance on C-SPAN's The Communicators, he said, “I get nconcerned when I see dates continue to slip away.” McDowell said he wants an overhaul norder no later than the commission’s October meeting. “My concern is we might get two new ncommissioners on the commission this fall,” he said. “I’d like to see us get an order done nbefore this happens, because that could be used as an excuse for further delay and then we’re nslipping ... and there could perhaps be more pressure from Congress.”
