QotD: The Universal Service Fund

Of course, there should be no Universal Service Fund. It is a relic from a long-ago age when telecom meant the same ring-ring, black plastic, curly-wired thing hanging on everyone's kitchen wall. Get the fuck over it and quit pretending the USF is anything other than a welfare program funded by distortionary fees.

Just another step along the road until the Net is totally under FCC control.
