Abstract
July 9, 2012 comments sent by EDUCAUSE, AAU, ACE, APLU, AASCU, and NACUBO to the Federal Communications Commission about the proposed reform of the Universal Service Fund contribution methodology. These comments support reform while also urging the FCC to retain some key principles, “particularly the need to avoid imposing an unfair burden on any sector, and the treatment of educational institutions as ‘end users’ and not as ‘providers’ of telecommunications.”
