Phone is telecom. Internet is not telecom. Generally speaking. If you think both of those services are US funded, why do you think we have this current situation where not everyone has fiber? To answer your question, there is some assistance to those big companies (AT&T, Frontier, CenturyLink). Did you notice that two of them have filed bankruptcy recently? They also wrote letters apologizing they didn't deploy the services they were paid to do. USF is for phone. Not internet.

"No such thing as a free lunch" is a phrase, basically stating nothing is ever actually free. In other words, making it affordable for everyone comes at a cost to everyone.isn't much of the telecom (phone/internet) access in the US funded through some public funds already/anyway? (taxes, uniform service fees, etc) Why is this problematic?
