FEDERAL UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND. Federal Grant programs are available to schools and libraries under the Universal Service Fund.

FEDERAL UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires that Phonesty contribute to the Federal Universal Service Fund (“FUSF”). The FUSF helps to make phone service affordable and available to all Americans, including consumers with low incomes; those living in areas where the cost of providing telephone service is high; public schools and libraries; and rural health care providers. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) delegates the administration of the FUSF to the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”). Each quarter, USAC announces, and the FCC approves, a “contribution factor.” The contribution factor is a percentage of the total interstate/international revenue for which each interstate carrier is responsible for contributing to the FUSF in order to sustain the FUSF System. As permitted by FCC regulations, Phonesty has opted to xxxx FUSF as a separate line item. Consistent with such regulations, Phonesty only bills FUSF line item charges in an amount equal to the quarterly contribution factor currently in effect. This is a permissible pass-through fee but is not a tax or charge mandated by the government. Please visit USAC’s Website for more information on the FCC’s Universal Service Fund.
