Senate Universal Service Hearing Tomorrow


telecomactrewrite.gifContinuing with its tight string of hearings on telecom reform, the Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing tomorrow on the topic of Universal Service Fund Contributions. Universal service is a hotly debated, intensely important telecom policy topic but the complex and broken methods for calculating universal service contributions and distributions are really, really boring.

Still, for those of us who have time on our hands, tomorrow’s hearing will feature the following witnesses:

Glen Post, CEO, Century/Tel

Tom Simmons, Vice President of Public Policy, Midcontinent Communications

Trent Boaldin, President, Epic Touch Co.

Bonnie Cramer, Member, AARP Board of Directors

Paul Garnett, Asst. Vice President Regulatory Affairs, CTIA

Load up on the No-Doz and watch the hearings live on C-SPAN 3, www.c-span.org or on the Senate Commerce Committee’s own web site. (Thanks as always to Peter Kiley.)
