High-Cost Universal Service Support; Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service

In this document, the Commission seeks comment on the Commission's rules governing the amount of high-cost universal service support provided to competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs), and tentatively concludes that it should eliminate the existing "identical support" rule--also known as the "equal support" rule-- which provides competitive ETCs with the same per-line high-cost universal service support amounts that incumbent local exchange carriers receive.
