Consumer Group Urges FCC to Scrap $4.5 Billion High Cost Fund

Original: SpaceX Has Company – Consumers’ Research Urges FCC to Fold the $4.5 Billion High Cost Fund

Consumers' Research is pressing the Federal Communications Commission to shut down its $4.5 billion High Cost Fund, which subsidises broadband service in rural and hard-to-reach areas. The group argues the program is inefficient and should be folded into a broader overhaul of USF. The push puts it alongside critics like SpaceX, which has also attacked the fund's distribution.

Why now: Ongoing debate over reforming the FCC's universal service programs and how rural broadband subsidies are allocated.
