The attached FNPRM seeks comment on
the Commission's proposal to require wireless carriers to conduct
traffic studies and extrapolate from the data the percentage of
their revenues that should be attributed to the interstate
jurisdiction. The Commission also seeks comment on whether to
require eligible telecommunications carriers to include some fixed
number of minutes of use per month as part of the basic universal
service package or whether we should require some number of calls.
