The U.S. government taxes wireline carriers to subsidize phone services for rural areas that are more expensive to reach by wire. This Universal Service Fund (USF) has come under attack for being an outdated burden in an age of cellular and other forms of broadband. Speaking at the CTIA Wireless trade show in Orlando, Martin called for universal service to be provided in a technology- neutral way. Access should be assured using the most efficient technology, which in rural areas is often wireless, he said. -----and----- http://clinton.senate.gov/news/statements/details.cfm?id=271662 Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) introduced legislation on Friday entitled The Rural Broadband Initiatives Act (S.1032). According to a statement from Senator Clinton, this legislation will extend and improve access to broadband services in small towns across America. The bill would establish an Office of Rural Broadband Initiatives within the Department of Agriculture. It would also establish a Rural Broadband Innovation fund to explore and develop cutting edge broadband delivery technologies to reach underserved rural areas.
