WTA Files Reply Comments on USF Cap Proposal

On August 26, WTA filed reply comments in response to the FCC’s NPRM proposing an overall cap on the entire Universal Service Fund. WTA noted that many industry participants and other interested parties also oppose an overall USF budget cap for many of the same or similar reasons as WTA did in its initial comments such as a lack of specific statutory authority and justification, a break with recent Commission precedent, different mission and metrics of the four programs, and others.
