In short, the FCC seems eager to impose requirements upon us which would do nothing to enhance homeland security but could well drive us and other independent ISPs out of business. This would ensure a cable/telco duopoly and hamper the expansion of broadband service to rural areas like ours.Could you apply for some funds from the Universal Service Fund? Of course the FCC could just tell the ILECs to use the USF to enter your market too...
We are not a telephone company. We are not eligible for USF funding. Also, USF funding is allocated to telephone carriers according to the number of high cost customers they serve, not according to how much they must spend to fulfill requirements to make their networks insecure... er, I mean, make them tappable.
