We’ve long illuminated the fraud, waste and dysfunction inherent in the FCC’s USF and E-rate systems, which you pay into each month via various bills to help fund rural telecom deployment. Because the system is poorly monitored by the FCC, some allege it’s at best a slush fund for the incumbent telcos.

And, this is a surprise! Eliminate the FCC; the marketplace will organize itself faster, cheaper, and better.
