CTIA-The Wireless Association® believes the federal universal service system should be modernized to provide efficient levels of support for the services that consumers demand, namely mobile and broadband services. The existing universal service system, with its emphasis on legacy wireline voice technology, is in danger of becoming more of a hindrance than a help if it is not modernized soon. Reform of the universal service system should be competitively neutral and ensure the ubiquitous deployment of mobile broadband services, which provide the benefits of broadband to the home and to the person. At the same time, the Universal Service Fund (USF) should be no bigger than necessary to achieve the goals outlined by Congress.
