Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service
On July 18, 1997, the Commission released a draft copy of the Universal Service Worksheet (Worksheet) which requires contributors to list their revenues by certain categories. In response to the release of the draft Worksheet, several wireless telecommunications providers requested clarification on how, for purposes of completing the Worksheet, entities that cannot derive various revenue data directly from their books of account should calculate the requested revenue information. In this document, the Commission addressed the concerns of wireless telecommunications providers with regard to certain aspects of universal service administration.
