The proposed USF Contribution Factor for 4th Quarter 2017 is 18.8%.

The FCC recently announced that the proposed Federal Universal Service Fund ("USF") contribution factor for the 4Q of 2017 will be 18.8%. This is a significant increase from the 3Q rate of 17.1% and the highest contribution factor in the history of the USF.  

What Should You do?

Wireless and VoIP carriers can significantly reduce their USF contributions by performing a traffic study rather than relying on the safe harbor rates applied by the FCC.  Carriers that rely on the safe harbor face a competitive disadvantage to the extent that other carriers’ reliance on traffic studies or actual interstate revenues leads to a lower contribution percentage, meaning that those carriers pay less money into the USF and attempt to recover fewer dollars from their customers.
