Debate over universal service fund payouts to wireless carriers
The Universal Service Fund created by Congress in 1996 funds access to telecommunication services in rural and high cost areas. In 2006 the fund gathered 6.6 billion dollars for four programs, with the largest share about 4.1 billion going to high cost subsidies for rural telephone providers. Wireless carriers gained when subsidies based on wired company per customer costs attracted new entrants. Critics call the per-subscriber model bloated and inefficient, noting huge payouts to Alltel and Western Wireless and substantial state disparities. The AP analysis shows Mississippi leading disbursements to competitive cellular carriers with 314 million dollars through early 2007.
