Something changed about a year ago. I think it's been the case for a
long time that an interstate data connection is subject to USF. I think
what changed is they decided that the traffic is the determining factor
rather than the physical connection points, and that Internet traffic
must be assumed to be interstate.
Some people on this list have reported getting USF charges of 21% on DIA
connections. I haven't seen it yet here.
