AT&T and other carriers are required to contribute to the federal Universal Service Fund (USF) on jurisdictionally interstate (and international) telecommunications service revenues. AT&T applies the Universal Connectivity Charge (UCC) (which is described in the AT&T Business Services Guide available at http://new.serviceguide.att.com/) to allow AT&T to recover its USF contribution associated with telecommunications service components. The UCC percentage applicable to these charges will be equal to the quarterly USF contribution factor established by the FCC. The UCC percentage is subject to change as the USF contribution factor is altered by the FCC.
