USTelecom Plan on USF, Intercarrier Comp Polarizes Interests

摘要

President Steve Berry of the Rural Cellular Association sharply criticized a proposal on the nUniversal Service Fund and intercarrier compensation proposal filed by carriers organized by nUSTelecom. It's a wireline-centered plan that largely leaves wireless in the cold, and it's a n"joke," Berry said. His association represents small-to-midsize carriers. Satellite broadband ncompanies also criticized the plan. Consumer groups and states’ rights advocates expressed nconcerns.
