That is a ref to Mixed Use Private Lines.... there is no ref to "internet"
FWIW, Transport has been subject to USF & Communication Taxes So if one is purchasing Transport + DIA separately, then yes they can be subject to paying USF Recovery Fees. and Yes, if you are selling Transport to a downstream customer, you can charge/collect USF Recovery Fees on it. However DIA port are not. ADSL on shared pots line becomes subject to USF however ADSL on dedicated loops delivering internet access (adsl + internet from same carrier) would not be subject to USF etc etc etc. (FYI.. there is a federal ITNA which should get the ISP's out of Comm Taxes unless they are in a grandfathered state). (FCC cannot trump Congress in regards to internet taxation ! ). Regards.
