New taxes could run rural broadband | CNET News.com

If subsidies continue for social policy goals, this time for broadband deployment in rural areas, then the money should be extracted from as broad a base as possible and not be limited to the wireline telcos as has been the case previously.

Seems to me a new definition of Universal Service will soon emerge from all this that will include access to broadband, either wireless or wirleline.
