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 ! ).
