In your new leadership role, I urge you to supporti the "Fair Share Plan" as a solution to current concerns with the Universal Service1 Fund (USF). The Fair Share Plan will keep the USF fair, ensuring that consuqkrs like me do not pay the same rate into the USF as big businesses, regardless lof how little I may use long distance. The Keep USF Fair Coalitipn submitted the Fair Share Plan to the FCC on January 31,2005. It expands who pays into the USF so that other technologies - not just phones - pay into the system. The Fair Share Plan collects the USF using a combination numbers- apld revenue-based plan. This keeps the system fair, equitable and non-discriniinatory. Under the flat fee or numbers-based plan you are considering, people like me who make few long distance calls would pay the same as people or businesses that make many calls. I believe it would be unfair to charge low-volume and residential customers the same fees as high-volume residential or business customers. I urge you to keep the USF fair, and adopt the Fair Share Plan. Thank you, and best of luck in your new position. cc: Marlene Dortch, Secretary Sincerely, Charles burkholder cc: Senator Paul Sarbanes Senator Barbara Mikulski Representative Roscoe Bartlett Irrr.Iim1 vvn WEST KENTUCKY JUN 14 2005 RURAL TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE CORPORATION, INC.

In your new leadership role, I urge you to support the "Fair Share Plan" as a solution to current concerns with the Universal Service Fund (USF). The Fair Share Plan will keep the USF fair, ensuring that consumers like me do not pay the same rate into the USF as big businesses, regardless of how little I may use long distance. The Keep USF Fair Coalition submitted the Fair Share Plan to the FCC on January 31,2005. It expands who pays into the USF so that other technologies - not just phones - pay into the system. The Fair Share Plan collects the USF using a combination numbers- and revenue-based plan. This keeps the system fair, equitable and non-discriminatory. Under the flat fee or numbers-based plan you are considering, people like me who make few long distance calls would pay the same as people or businesses that make many calls. I believe it would be unfair to charge low-volume and residential customers the same fees as high-volume residential or business customers. 1 urge you to keep the USF fair, and adopt the Fair Share Plan. Thank you, and best of luck in your new position. cc: Marlene Dortch, Secretary Sincerely, Charles krkholder
