The group serves as a discussion forum to craft and advocate for policies that support the continued flow of funds through the Universal Service Fund to support the needs of anchor institutions and their surrounding communities.

May Meeting Summary

Members responded to recent developments related to USF reform, such as the proposed Lowering Broadband Costs for Consumers Act of 2025, which aims to expand the USF funding base via contributions from broadband and edge providers. We also discussed recent statements made by Commissioner Simington regarding the E-Rate and Lifeline programs.
