I was reading an article for an interview with the FCC head. He states that the change to the universal services fund to include VoIP providers may costs consumers more money and that is totally fair!
Here at the FCC, we don't actually listen to what we say. I may have said that I am concerned about consumers, but I am not. I only care about the companies that give me money to push their own agendas. Did I just say that out loud?

Would there be an impact on consumers' monthly bills?
Copps: Absolutely--there could be an impact. I think you're much better off, again, if you're a VoIP or wireless provider, there's a possibility now that your bills are going to go up because we haven't included the broadband. When everyone participates in the (system) it's more equitable and fair and you don't feel the pain as much. It could well be consumers are going to feel more pain, and that's something we always have to be sensitive and alive to. Consumers, too often, don't get the priority concern that they ought to get.
