That's pretty much what I was thinking.

Subject: RE: [WISPA] Smith pitches 'Broadband for America Act'
--Universal Service Reform: Creates a new account to invest $500 million
a year in broadband infrastructure for areas private investment are
reluctant to reach. Expands USF contributors to include any company
capable of supporting 2-way voice communication. Low volume users and
low income households would be exempted.
1. So who determines what/how/when the areas private investment is
neglecting?
2. Who has access to the $500 million to build infrastructure
3. Sounds like some folks are tagging a rider in to take a shot at VOIP
--Permanently Exempt USF Fund: Permanently exempts the Universal Service
Fund from the Anti-Deficiency Act, allowing programs like the E-rate to
continue.
--Municipal Broadband: Allows municipalities to band together and offer
affordable broadband service in areas where private companies cannot or
will not provide service.
1. See #1 above
Call me paranoid, but parts of this smell a little fishy.
