Overview: |
|
Part of a series on universal service,
Universal Service Tool Kit, Part 1, presents ideas to transition for
monopoly-based telecommunications subsidies to new ones that better fit
the competitive environment. This paper provides short-term solutions,
which, when linked with one another, help lead to major revisions of the
traditional system. (See
Universal Service Tool Kit, Part 2, for an
example that links some of these ideas into a unified approach).
