Abstract
The Commission authorized the Administrator of the universal service support mechanisms to require payment of quarterly contributions to universal service in equal monthly installments. Allowing monthly payments will reduce the cash flow impact on contributors because their payments will be smaller. It also will better enable contributors to offset their contributions by payments from the support mechanisms. It will not jeopardize the sufficiency of the support mechanisms.
