Doubt it. They usually specify USF because they don't get to keep that
money.

The generic "Regulatory Recovery Surcharge" is money they keep. They may in
some tangential way have an increased cost engineering their network to
comply with government regulations but whatever it is there's no connection
to your particular bill.

Sort of like the airline "fuel surcharge" that never quite goes away when
the price of fuel drops.
