Report on Benefits to Americans
The greatest benefits to Americans from the universal service support mechanisms will be realized in the years to come, as citizens in every corner of this country and every income level gain affordable access to information in all of its forms, medical professionals find innovative ways to use and manage vital data, and high school graduates go to college or enter the workforce. In the meantime, it is important to consider the quantitative impact of the USF as millions of people are affected every year. The charts and tables in this section of the report are indicators of USAC’s success in its ongoing efforts to reach and connect Americans.
Conversely, though it is important to understand the quantitative impact of the universal service programs, the qualitative impact is perhaps the most impressive. Far more than a matter of funds committed or dollars distributed is the reality that individual communities, organizations, and citizens are affected in direct and positive ways. Consider the effect of the universal service support mechanisms on real individuals while reviewing the quantitative data and reading the quotations included in this section of the report.
