Dear The Federal Communications Commission,
The flat-fee Universal Service Fund proposal is unfair. I urge
you to oppose this plan. I am one of the millions of consumers
that will be unfairly taxed at a higher rate under the flat fee
plan. The flat-fee would mean a tax hike for people like me --
consumers that use prepaid cellular phones or make few long
distance calls.
I support the Keep USF Fair Coalition, and monitor this issue on
their website. Stopping the flat fee tax is important to my
family - not to mention my pocket book. You will hear from me
again, until this issue is resolved fairly! The flat-fee is
unfair, and un-American.
Under the flat fee proposal you are considering, people who make
few long distance calls would pay the same as people or
businesses that make many calls. In other words, low-volume and
primarily residential customers would bear the same universal
service fund burden as high-volume residential or business
customers. I urge you to reject this flat-fee proposal.
Thank you.
