Program To Monitor Impacts of Universal Service Support Mechanisms

On April 24, 1998, the Common Carrier Bureau issued a Public Notice to solicit comment on its proposed program to monitor the impacts of universal service support mechanisms and to issue reports documenting the results of that monitoring program. Previously, on May 8, 1997, the Commission released a Report and Order implementing section 254 of the Communications Act, as amended, and creating a new set of universal service support mechanisms. The Public Notice describes a monitoring program, developed in consultation with the states, and that will enable the public, the Commission, and other policy makers to assess and evaluate the new universal service support mechanisms.
