"The USF program plays a vital role in helping our state's non-profit organizations provide essential telecommunications services to their clients," Doyle said. "I am pleased that we were able to award these grants. The USF program continues to provide extraordinary value and assistance to all of the state's telecommunications customers."
The Universal Service Fund, created under Wisconsin law, allows the PSC to collect fees from telecommunication providers to fund various USF programs, including the non-profit access grants program. These grants help low income and disabled customers access telecommunications services and assists in providing access to advanced telecommunications services to the public.
More information about Wisconsin's USF programs and how organizations can apply for grants, is available on the PSC's Web site.
