Folks,
I thought you would be interested in an update on the results of the
first survey - on Scope of Universal Service Subsidies. If you haven't
done so, please complete the second survey - on Allocation of Universal
Service Subsidies. You can find it at:
http://www.info-ren.org/projects/universal-service/survey_2.html
Thanks all,
Laurie Maak
