Talk:Universal Service Fund

message: At present the article says "As of the first quarter of 2013, the USF fee, equals 16.1 percent of a telecom company's interstate end-user revenues. As of the second quarter of 2013, the USF fee is 15.5 percent."
This AT&T page about the fee says "As of April 1, 2007, the USF rate was changed from 2.91% to 3.32%."
Unless this is about two fees there apparently has been a huge jump from 3% to 15%. --Marc Kupper|talk 23:10, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

message: I highly suggest a merge from Universal Service Administrative Company into this article. As far as I know, the company is only relevant in the context of the Universal Service Fund, and the article there mostly duplicates the subject matter here.

message: Nothing currently in this article remotely suggests why ObamaPhone redirects here. Barack Obama's name doesn't even appear in it. Assuming this is a meaningful redirect, could someone add some sourced information about what an "ObamaPhone" is and how it relates to the article subject? Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:26, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Are there not voicing claiming that this is nothing else other than a dratted tax which wastes money with overhead expense and transfers money from the poor to corporate monsters, already overflowing with profit?  Has not one claimed that this surcharge on the phone bill of the poor is at best paid back with a discount which would be effected simply by having no surcharge to begin with?
