Communication is the basis for commerce, friendship, learning, and understanding.
It is the link between cultures and nations. The USAC Board of Directors and staff are proud to play a part in providing everyone in the United States with access to the modern tools of communication at reasonable rates, regardless of geographic location or economic status. As the administrator of the federal universal service support mechanisms, our mission is to help connect Americans to each other and to the world through the use of the Internet and telecommunications services that now span the globe. Working with the FCC and our stakeholders, we have helped take universal service from a vision to reality. We have accomplished much in the last two years and we have ambitious goals for the future.
