Utah PSC to Raise USF Surcharge by 38% on July 1

The connections-based Utah Universal Service Fund surcharge will increase 27 cents to 98 cents monthly per access line, a 38% rise, on July 1, a Tuesday notice in docket 24-R008-01 said. The Utah Public Service Commission said it didn't receive comments on the proposed change. Previously it said the increase was needed because of an AT&T error (see 2404160023 and 2405280028).
