ITI Reacts to New FCC Universal Service Fund Report
WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association ITI issued the following statement from its President and CEO Jason Oxman in reaction to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) new Report on the Future of the Universal Service Fund (USF) (opens in a new tab) that was released today:
“Universal broadband connectivity is critical for all Americans to participate in today’s economy. Fees imposed on the delivery of online content could ultimately raise costs for end users, and disincentivize the innovation that has underpinned the growth and economic benefits of the internet-driven economy. Instead of undermining innovation and regulating internet content, the Federal Communications Commission should act now to stabilize the Universal Service Fund through assessments that are squarely within the agency’s authority.”
