Would it be of value for Pennsylvania to establish organizations similar to the Universal Service fund administrator and the Schools and Libraries Corporation?
Such entities would be duplicative, and burdensome. Since Pennsylvania had no separate state Universal Service fund, there is no need for a separate administrator. Were such a fund established in the future, however, there would need to be mechanisms to assure its proper implementation. As stated previously, it is the recommendation of the Task Force that no separate fund be established; that the FCC program be monitored closely in the first year to determine its adequacy in meeting the needs of Pennsylvania.
