Reply-To: dewayne () warpspeed com Senators Want Telecom Fund To Include Broadband Access By Drew ClarkNational Journal reports that Senators Gordon Smith, R-Ore., and Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., are in the early stages of drafting legislation that would expand the Universal Service Fund to include high-speed Internet access. Aides to Smith said the bill would make money in the Universal Service Fund available so telecommunications providers could build out broadband facilities. "It would be built into the same structure, and might end up as a stand-alone fund, within the current system next to the high-cost fund," an aide said.
