What types of “services ” are supported under the Universal Service mechanism?
A. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 establishes the requirement for defining universal service and the principles by which it is to be guided. The current definition includes voice-grade access and access to long-distance and emergency services. The definition is now under the periodic reexamination required by law. Whether to include services such as broadband are important and controversial choices that have yet to be determined.
