Consumers' Research Urges FCC to Scrap $4.5 Billion 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 eliminate its $4.5 billion High Cost Fund, the program that subsidizes broadband and phone service in rural and expensive-to-serve areas. The move puts the advocacy group alongside SpaceX, which has also criticized the fund, arguing subsidy programs distort competition among satellite and terrestrial broadband providers.
Why now: Ongoing debate over US broadband subsidy policy and SpaceX's push against rural internet funding programs is drawing fresh attention.
