Rate Increase Effective January 1, 2011

You may notice an increase in the charge on your bill called “Federal Universal Service Charge (FUSC)” that pays for the Federal Universal Service Fund. The FCC has approved an increase in this charge from 12.9% to 15.5% of your monthly interstate access charges for residential and business customers effective January 1, 2011. This charge contributes to the national universal service fund, which helps keep local telephone service rates affordable for low-income customers and customers in high cost rural areas, and provides assistance to customers with disabilities. If you have any questions about this change, please call Big Bend Telephone Company at 800-592-4781
