Abstract: Section 54.703 requires all telecommunications carriers providing interstate telecommunications services, providers of interstate telecommunications that offer services to others for a fee, and pay telephone providers to contribute to universal service support mechanisms. Contributors must file the Universal Service worksheet semiannually. The Commission recently revised the worksheet to, among other things, make explicit that contributors must report revenues derived from presubscribed interexchange carrier charges. The information is used to calculate contributions to universal support mechanism.
