Re: [AFMUG] ACP - Affordable Connectivity Program

The USF did do a lot of good. But its time has passed. Most ILECs took ACAM money to build out fiber everywhere. That program is coming to the end of its first phase. Supposedly all those ACAM companies will now be on their own, to compete in a straight up business model. But the prognosis

Re: [AFMUG] ACP - Affordable Connectivity Program

Ideal scenario is getting an intrastate contract, don't assume if it's within the same state that they won't give you an interstate agreement!

I think you need to do a lot more research on the subject to really get a good answer. Short version: Collecting USF fees from customers is always optional. Paying USF fees is required for services that are subject to USF.There is a deminimus category where you don’t have to pay the fees
