Universal Service and Rural Broadband
Hello, and welcome back to TPI's new podcast. I'm Chris McGurn, TPI's Director of Communications. Each week on this podcast, we facilitate a conversation between TPI fellows and eventually special guests on some of the most pressing and important issues in tech policy and tech politics. This week's episode features a very important conversation on the Universal Service Fund and rural broadband. What that means is a matter of some debate as to who pays what it does and how we get broadband out to the most rural parts of our country. We will focus on topics ranging from history of the Universal Service Fund to whose responsibility is it to pay and why we need broadband for all Americans. Tonight we have with us Sarah Oh, a TPI fellow, and Scott Wallsten, TPI Senior Fellow and President. And as it's a podcast I should clarify that it's not just tonight but you can listen today, tomorrow, in the morning, afternoon or whenever you want.
