FCC Wants VoIP Users to Pay Tax, Too

December 15, 2005, 1:50 PMThe FCC will likely force Internet telephone, or VoIP, providers to contribute to the Universal Service Fund, a program that helps subsidize telecommunications services in high-cost regions of the country, and in schools and libraries.
I wouldn’t mind this tax as long as the tax collected from VOIP is SOLEY used to fund the extension of broadband to these same communities.
