An interesting legal opinion. I wish them the best.
I remember getting a job to set up a calling card system for a small, rural telecomm in GA back in the 90's. They could offer long distance calls below cost, because they would get money from the USF for every call that was originated from their switch. This was to compensate them due to the costs of operating a Local Exchange Carrier in a rural environment.
There is so much fraud involved any time the government gets involved in trying to override market mechanisms. It truly is sad. Whatever else comes out of this era, I hope America never let's the government do anything in the interests of "fairness" again. It is always abused by fraudsters and then ignored by Congress who get political contributions to keep it going.

"never let's the government do anything in the interests of "fairness" again"
....it sounds like sardonicism. but generally, in governmental policies, the inverse of the policy's intentions occurs...
..."fairness" = "cheating"...
Omg that picture 😆
