I got audited by USAC this year to prove that the USF we receive is to cover the costs of providing the service. But think how expensive it is to run a hundred miles of fiber and put in a class 5 switch to serve 30 or 50 customers. You are right, I do love USF!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marlon K.

Just had a dilup customer quit. She went to DSL. $14.95 for internet and $14.95 for phone line. $29.90 for both! This was NOT an introductory rate. Good for life. She called to double check that after we warned her. Depending on who you listen to Century Tel gets $60 to $109 per month in subsidies out here. Per phone line. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't USF supposed to be a cost recovery mechanism????? If the telco can drop their drawers that far down it seems to me that USF has been kicking in a bit too much of late. The older I get the more I hate my government and what it's doing to us! marlon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
