Reforming Universal Service

Universal Service Reform

Rayburn B340, 12-2, July 20th

Lunch will be served

 

The universal service program is coming under increasing pressure: expenditures for old-fashioned voice service, especially in the high-cost fund, are growing rapidly even as many policymakers are calling for the fund to also include broadband.  Even without including broadband, consumers are already paying higher taxes for these increased expenditures.  This seminar will address questions of how to reform the fund, including ways of controlling growth in the high-cost fund, such as reverse auctions, and how to incorporate broadband in an efficient and equitable manner.
