Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission requires all telecommunications providers and certain other providers of telecommunications, such as providers of interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services, to contribute to universal service and telecommunications relay service. Wireless and interconnected VoIP providers are required to contribute based either on their actual interstate end-user gross-billed telecommunications revenues, interim safe harbors, or traffic studies.
