My info could now be called 'Myth' - I've been out of the retail business for
about 9 years.
For cellular in US, we had to keep track of originating party jurisdiction,
terminating party jurisdiction,
and any O/T cells involved. Then the tax

Ed -- I'd love to see more data on this. Where did your understanding come
from?
I looked at my cellular bill last night, and on 4 lines, the "Fed Universal
Service Charge" was a total of $1.88 on a total bill of about $180 (about
$160 of it was just the monthly fee for 4 plans).
Does anyone
What service features of the service are subject to USF?
is it only charged on retail land-line replacement or at multiple levels as a
value-add?
My understanding is that cellular services do not pay USF ( but, when we had a
cell company several years ago, all taxes were outsourced..)
That, and, while I am not at all an expert on what can and can't be
recovered from customers, it was my impression that not 100% of USF can
be passed on.

Except that some of us specifically sell "bottom line" pricing that is not
variable and not padded with 20 lines of fees and taxes. Because our ILEC
is known for quoting $100 and billing $130-150 actual price.

I don't want to make this political but so long as we accept it and pay it,
it wont go down. If more people started asking questions and demanded to
understand why it kept going up then maybe there would be accountability.
