TechFreedom Backs Consumers' Research 6th Circuit USF Challenge

TechFreedom backed Consumers' Research's request for a rehearing of its challenge of the FCC's USF 2021 Q4 contribution factor in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (see 2305100063). "The FCC’s subdelegation of authority to [the Universal Service Administrative Co.] is unconstitutional," the group said in an amicus brief filed Monday in case 21-3886, saying the commission "passed the management of the USF to a private entity" without Congress's permission. "Private delegation is bad enough," TechFreedom said: "Private delegation absent congressional approval is intolerable."
