At the RTIME conference, NTCA leaders discussed the importance of protecting the Universal Service Fund (USF) following its court challenges. CEO Shirley Bloomfield emphasized the role of this fund in ensuring connectivity and bridging the digital divide, highlighting ongoing legal efforts including a reply brief to the Supreme Court. Bloomfield also announced an ad campaign urging support for the USF and a 'USF Day of Action' on March 12, showcasing collaboration with various political and advocacy groups.
At the end of the day, Universal Service continues to be the most significant tool we have in bridging the digital divide.
We're not going to be fighting this battle alone. Already, we've had 29 members of Congress, attorneys general, public advocates, [and] state associations all weighing in with amicus briefs.
