CTIA – The Wireless Association Criticizes Universal Service Cap Proposal

admin — Thu, 03 May 2007 12:52:39 +0000

CTIA–The Wireless Association® President and CEO Steve Largent sharply criticized a proposal by the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (Joint Board) that discriminates against wireless consumers living in rural areas by recommending a cap on support available to competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (CETCs).

“Almost three years after being assigned the task of developing recommendations to reform the high-cost universal service system, the Joint Board has missed the mark,” said Largent. “The Joint Board’s bias toward legacy wireline networks will undoubtedly disadvantage rural consumers, the majority of which now view wireless as their primary mode of telecommunication. In neglecting to propose a comprehensive set of technology-neutral, market-oriented reforms to the high-cost Universal Service system, the Joint Board has effectively told rural consumers that they don’t deserve high-quality wireless services,” continued Largent. » read more »
