CPUC Sets Feb. 14-18 USF Contribution Hearing

The California Public Utilities Commission set aside a week, Feb. 14-18, for a hearing on updating state USF contribution. The virtual hearing starts at 10 a.m. PST every day, Chief Administrative Law Judge Anne Simon ordered Thursday in docket R.21-03-002. Carriers and consumers groups raised concerns with a commission proposal last year to switch to a per-access line surcharge for public purpose programs (see 2112010014).
