CTIA - The Wireless Association®: Universal Service Fund> http://www.ctia.org/rss/index.cfm/rsstype/indtopics/TID/21 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. en-us 2012 CTIA - The Wireless Association http://www.ctia.org Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:16:16 -0500 CTIA Statement on FCC's Lifeline Order and Further Notice http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2155 (Press Releases) http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2155 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0500 CTIA files comments on universal service issues in FCC's USF-ICC FNPRM proceeding http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/120118_USF_FNPRM_Comments_Confirmation.pdf (FCC / Legal Activity) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/120118_USF_FNPRM_Comments_Confirmation.pdf Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0500 CTIA-The Wireless Association® Statement on FCC's Adoption of Order and FNPRM on USF and ICC http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2138 (Press Releases) http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2138 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500 CTIA-The Wireless Association® Statement on FCC Chairman Genachowski's Speech on USF and Intercarrier Compensation System http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2130 (Press Releases) http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2130 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0500 CTIA Files Ex Parte on ICC Reductions and Reform http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/110929_CTIA_ICC_Reductions_Ex_Parte_FINAL.pdf (FCC / Legal Activity) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/110929_CTIA_ICC_Reductions_Ex_Parte_FINAL.pdf Thu, 29 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0500 CTIA Files Updated Study on Ubiquitous Mobile Broadband in FCC's USF and ICC Reform Docket http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/2011_CTIA_Mobile_Broadband_Study_FINAL_Combined.pdf (FCC / Legal Activity) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/2011_CTIA_Mobile_Broadband_Study_FINAL_Combined.pdf Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0500 Wireless Industry Overview http://files.ctia.org/pdf/091911-WirelessIndustryOverview.pdf (Statistics & Educational Materials) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/091911-WirelessIndustryOverview.pdf Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0500 CTIA-The Wireless Association® Recognizes "National Telephone Discount Lifeline Awareness Week" http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2119 (Press Releases) http://www.ctia.org/news_media/press/body.cfm/PRID/2119 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0500 Lifeline: Connecting Eligible Americans to Communications Services http://files.ctia.org/pdf/USF_Lifeline_Program_Overview.pdf (Statistics & Educational Materials)Overview of the USF Lifeline Program http://files.ctia.org/pdf/USF_Lifeline_Program_Overview.pdf Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0500
