Changes to the Board of Directors of the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. and Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service

Короткий зміст

This document concerning the Changes to the Board of Directors of the National Exchange Association, Inc. and Federal-State Joint Board simplifies the process for rural health care providers to receive support from the universal service support mechanism, among other things, and adopts rules to permit the Universal Service Administrative Company to provide support for any commercially available telecommunications service, regardless of the bandwidth. It also requires USAC to calculate support based upon all actual distance-based charges, unless the rural health care provider or carrier requests a more comprehensive support calculation and substantiates that request.
