WTA Submits Comments in Opposition to NCTA Petition for Rulemaking

This afternoon, WTA submitted comments to the FCC in opposition to the National Cable and Telecommunications Association (NCTA) petition for rulemaking to restructure the Universal Service Fund.  WTA’s comments recommend that the FCC “reject NCTA’s unwarranted and unsupported attempt to reduce the high-cost support of the small rural local exchange carriers who have been using it most efficiently and effectively to bring emerging broadband services to their rural customers.”  The comments can be viewed here.
