WTA Supports USTelecom-NTCA USF Contributions Petition for Forbearance

Today, WTA filed comments with the FCC in support of NTCA and USTelecom’s Petition for Forbearance of the application of USF contribution requirements to broadband Internet access transmission services provided by RLECs. WTA argues that “such temporary forbearance should last until such time as the Commission completes a USF contribution reform proceeding that determines whether any or all broadband Internet access services must contribute to the federal USF program.”
