(April 17) NTCA met with staff to FCC Commissioners Geoffrey Starks and Anna Gomez to raise concerns about potential forbearance by the commission from universal service contribution obligations in the context of its net neutrality rulemaking. NTCA asserted that the commission would be on sounder legal footing and would advance the public interest as a practical and policy matter if it were instead to waive such an obligation pending a further notice of proposed rulemaking to consider how and whether to reform universal service contributions.
