WHAT ADVOCATES ARE SAYING:
A flat fee or exclusively numbers-based plan would be unfair to millions of consumers, especially lower call volume users if they would now pay the same fee as high volume business users.

A Flat Fee for Maryland Could Mean a Flatter Wallet for You!

Calling all Maryland phone consumers! Major phone companies are working on a proposal to reduce their own tax burdens by shifting the current method of collecting the Universal Service Fund (USF) to a flat-fee approach. This could increase telephone costs by 1000% for millions of consumers, especially Americans with limited, fixed and low incomes. Residents in Maryland -- like you -- could stand to lose as much as $141 million overall!

The Keep USF Fair Coalition is working to stop these phone companies and their anti-consumer agenda, and we need your help. Fill out the form to the right to tell Congress and the FCC that a flat-fee approach is the wrong approach for the consumers they represent in Maryland, and forward this message to your friends and neighbors.
