FCC Seeks USF Tax Input

If for no other reason to say you at least voice your opinion, there is a limited opportunity to share your opinions with the FCC. Currently, the FCC seeks additional comment on telecom reforms; specifically the Universal Service Fund (USF) and intercarrier compensation.

Although the FCC does not have a track record of following public opinion, it never hurts to try. Listening to one person’s voice versus a heavy lobbyist? Chances are very, very, very small that our Mr. Smith’s opinion will prevail — but then again, without voicing at all, the chance is zero.

Proposals range from taxing a flat fee of $1.00/month per telephone number to a cap of fees at $0.0007 per minute.

Our proposal is no taxes on telecommunication. Period.
