This model is now hopelessly outdated. It relies on an ever shrinking base of revenues from the telephone network to fund the broadband network. This is like taxing horseshoes to pay for highways. — PolitiTweet.org

Up to now, there have been two leading approaches. The first is the FCC's current model. We collect ~$9B a year through a tax on your monthly bills for traditional telephone service—both wireless & wireline. The FCC then spends that money on efforts to close the digital divide. — PolitiTweet.org

This antiquated system is on the verge of collapse. The FCC has kept it on life support by increasing the tax on consumers' telephone bills at an accelerating clip. Indeed, that tax recently surged above 30 percent for the first time ever. — PolitiTweet.org
