If I had a magic wand, I would have a separate cap on each USF program....
including the High Cost Fund (formerly telco, now the Connect America
Fund), and reduce the USF tax/fee on everyone's bill by 50%.
high cost (telco/connect america) $5,116 million (not capped)
e-Rate for schools & libraries $2,156 million (capped)
lifeline benefits $ 723 million
rural health care connectivity $ 556 million (capped)
