Earlier today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that the framework through which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the Universal Service Fund (USF) is unconstitutional.
The ruling stated that the USF is essentially a tax paid by consumers via telecommunications companies. While Congress gave the FCC authority to levy taxes — in Section 254 of the U.S. Code — the court believes such delegation of power does not meet the Supreme Court’s precedents.
