Don't y'all suppose that the Commission did this so that small wisps could not get access to USF since we can't meet the 25mbs benchmark. And since they are fixin' to require us to become common carriers that rule will make us pay into the USF without being allowed to withdraw money from it because we can't easily provide broadband. That's what the commission did to us paging carriers a few years back. I suspect this is to benefit the ATTs and the COXs throughout the country, all the while bending us little guys over the barnyard fence.
