It feels like every year, I see some elementary school building a 100gb coherent 288 strand dark fiber ring on e-rate funds. Yeah, I'm exaggerating a bit, but in the case of a local district, only by a bit (they were doing 40gb, for a district). A far cry from when we just subsidized some pots lines or a PRI.

I don't have any inside info on that, but the purpose of USF is to subsidize service in high cost areas (usually rural). So either there are more services needing subsidies or fewer services paying in or some combination of both.

Um. Wow. This is crazy. Why is it 33.4%???
2 years ago it was 18.8%. This is DOUBLE!
Will it stop increasing? Go back down? Are we doomed?
