Adopted:  April 30, 2010 Released:  April 30, 2010
By the Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau:
I. INTRODUCTION
1. In this order, we grant in part a request for review filed by U.S. TelePacific Corp. d/b/a 
TelePacific Communications (TelePacific) of a decision by the Universal Service Administrative 
Company (USAC) requiring TelePacific to contribute to the universal service fund based on revenues 
from TelePacific’s provision of Internet access service.1 Based on the Commission’s decision in the 2005 
Wireline Broadband Internet Access Services Order, wireline broadband Internet access services are not 
currently subject to universal service contribution obligations.2 As such, we direct USAC to accept 
TelePacific’s re-filed 2008 FCC Form 499-A, in which TelePacific reports its revenue in accordance with 
the Commission’s precedent on classification of broadband Internet access services.
2. As part of our ongoing effort to protect the integrity of the universal service fund, we 
order TelePacific to provide to the Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau, a detailed explanation of the 
methodology by which TelePacific apportions revenues derived from its sale to end users of voice 
telephony and other services utilizing leased T-1 lines and how it reports such revenues on FCC Form 
499-A, within 60 days of this order.  We further order TelePacific to provide USAC with the names and

Service Administrator Decision, WC Docket No. 06-122, at 2 (filed Jan. 8, 2010) (TelePacific Request for Review). 
Because we are acting on the request for review, we dismiss TelePacific’s emergency petition for stay as moot.  See

contributions owed to the universal service fund are promptly paid.
II. BACKGROUND
A. The Act and the Commission’s Rules
3. Section 254(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), directs that 
“[e]very telecommunications carrier that provides interstate telecommunications services shall contribute, 
on an equitable and nondiscriminatory basis, to the specific, predictable, and sufficient mechanisms 
established by the Commission to preserve and advance universal service.”3 Section 254(d) further 
provides that “[a]ny other provider of interstate telecommunications may be required to contribute to the 
preservation and advancement of universal service if the public interest so requires.”4 To this end, the 
Commission has determined that common carriers and private service providers that provide interstate 
telecommunications to others for a fee generally must contribute to the universal service fund based on 
their interstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues.5
4. Although the Commission declined to exempt from contribution “any of the broad classes 
of telecommunications carriers that provide interstate telecommunications services,” not all carriers that 
provide interstate telecommunications service contribute to the universal service fund.6 In particular, the 
Commission recognized that “[b]asing contributions on end-user revenues . . . will relieve wholesale 
carriers from contributing directly to the support mechanisms” because these carrier’s carriers do not earn 
revenues directly from end-users.7 Instead, the reseller that provides the service to the end-user and 
thereby earns end-user revenues contributes directly to the universal service fund.8
  
3 47 U.S.C. § 254(d).
4 Id.
5 See Universal Service First Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd at 9183–84, para. 795.  The Commission also requires 
certain other providers of interstate telecommunications to contribute to the universal service fund.  See, e.g., 
Universal Service Contribution Methodology, CC Docket Nos. 96-45, 98-171, 90-571, 92-237, 99-200, 95-116, 98-
170, WC Docket Nos. 06-122, 04-36, Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 21 FCC Rcd 7518 
(2006) (requiring interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) providers to contribute to the universal service 
fund) (Interim Contribution Methodology Order).  Although the Commission has not addressed the regulatory 
classification of interconnected VoIP services as “telecommunications services” or “information services” under the 
Act, the Commission has concluded that interconnected VoIP providers are “providers of interstate 
telecommunications” for purposes of universal service.  Interim Contribution Methodology Order, 21 FCC Rcd at 
7537, para. 35; 47 C.F.R. § 254(d).
6 Universal Service First Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd at 9179, para. 787.  For example, carriers are not required 
to contribute to the universal service fund in a given year if their contribution for that year would be less than 
$10,000.  47 C.F.R. § 54.708.  Likewise, carriers with purely intrastate or international revenues are not required to 
contribute. Universal Service First Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd at 9174, para. 779; Federal-State Joint Board on 
Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96-45, Sixteenth Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 1679, 1685, para. 15 
(1999).  Certain government entities, broadcasters, schools, libraries, systems integrators, and self-providers are also 
exempt from the contribution requirement.  47 C.F.R. § 54.706(d).  Also, if an entity provides broadband 
transmission service to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) on a non-common carrier (i.e. a private carriage basis), 
that entity is not required to contribute to universal service on the basis of revenues derived from the provision of 
that transmission service.  Wireline Broadband Internet Access Services Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 14909–10, para. 103; 
id. at 14916 n.357; Interim Contribution Methodology Order, 21 FCC Rcd at 7549, n. 206 (restating this holding).  
Unless a carrier meets one of the exemptions or exceptions, however, it must contribute to the universal service 
fund.

5. The Commission has designated USAC as the entity responsible for administering the 
universal service support mechanisms under FCC direction.9 Pursuant to the Commission’s rules, 
contributors report their revenues by filing Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets (FCC Forms 499-
A and 499-Q) with USAC.10 USAC reviews these filings and verifies the information provided by the 
contributors.11 USAC also bills contributors for their universal service contributions.12
6. In determining what revenues are subject to contribution, the Commission has generally 
made a distinction between revenues derived from “telecommunications” offerings (specifically, 
telecommunications offerings provided on a common carriage or private carriage basis13) and revenues 
derived from “information services.”14 To calculate universal service contribution obligations, providers 
must report their revenues to USAC using the FCC Form 499, segregating their non-telecommunications 
revenues (such as revenues from sales of information services) from their telecommunications revenues 
and further segregating their end-user telecommunications revenues from their telecommunications 
revenues from sales to other contributors (i.e., carrier’s carrier revenues).15 To ensure that all subject 
telecommunications and telecommunications services revenues are captured at some point in the 
distribution chain, a wholesale provider of telecommunications or telecommunications services must 
generally treat each customer as an end user, unless the customer incorporates the leased 
telecommunications into its own telecommunications offerings and can reasonably be expected to 
contribute directly to the federal universal service fund based on revenues from those offerings.16

13 An entity that provides telecommunications services on a common carriage basis offers services to the public 
indiscriminately under the same general terms and conditions.  In contrast, telecommunications offerings provided 
on a private carriage basis are tailored to the special requirements of each customer pursuant to individually 
negotiated contracts.  See Nat’l Ass’n of Regulatory Utility Comm’rs v. FCC, 525 F.2d 630 (D.C. Cir. 1976); Nat’l 
Ass’n of Regulatory Utility Comm’rs v. FCC, 533 F.2d 601 (D.C. Cir. 1976).

storing, transforming, processing, retrieving, utilizing, or making available information via telecommunications”).  
Prior to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Commission used the term “basic service” instead of  
“telecommunications service” and “enhanced service” instead of “information service.”  See Federal-State Joint

Providers with direct contribution obligations may pass through their contribution assessments to their 
customers, and generally do so unless a customer certifies that it “is purchasing service for resale in the 
form of . . . telecommunications.”17
7. In the 2005 Wireline Broadband Internet Access Services Order, the Commission 
concluded, consistent with its prior findings for cable modem service, that “wireline broadband Internet 
access service provided over a provider’s own facilities is . . . an information service.”18 The Commission 
defined wireline broadband Internet access as “a service that uses existing or future wireline facilities of 
the telephone network to provide subscribers with Internet access capabilities.”19 The Commission also 
explained that its finding was not dependent on the type of wireline facility over which the service is 
provided, or on whether the service provider owns or leases the transmission inputs.20
8. Pursuant to this precedent, Internet access service providers that lease or purchase 
transmission from telecommunications carriers to provide wireline broadband Internet access services are 
not required to contribute to the universal service fund for revenues derived from the provision of that 
service.  If such providers lease or purchase transmission service that is offered on a common carrier 
basis, whether from an affiliated entity or a third party, they are end users of that telecommunications 
service, and the telecommunications carrier providing the leased telecommunications services is obligated 
to contribute to universal service on those revenues.21 That telecommunications carrier, in turn, may 
choose to pass through those universal service contribution assessments.22

para. 5 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2009) (Global Crossing Order); 2010 FCC Form 499-A Instructions at 19 (“For 
purposes of completing Block 3, a “reseller” is a telecommunications carrier or telecommunications provider that:  
1) incorporates purchased telecommunications services into its own telecommunications offerings; and 2) can be 
reasonably expected to contribute to federal universal support mechanisms based on revenues from such offerings 
when provided to end users”).

their customers); 2010 FCC Form 499-A Instructions at 19; see also High-Cost Universal Service Support; Federal-
State Joint Board on Universal Service, WC Docket No. 05-337, CC Docket No. 96-45, Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, 23 FCC Rcd 1467, 1469 n.10 (2008) (noting that providers almost always pass contribution obligations 
through to their customers).

20 See id. at 14860, para. 9 n.15 (noting that the classification of wireline broadband Internet access service applies 
whether the transmission “component is provided over all copper loops, hybrid copper-fiber loops, a fiber-to-the-
curb or fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, or any other type of wireline facilities, and whether that component is 
provided using circuit-switched, packet-based, or any other technology”); id. at 14864-65, para. 16 (affirming that 
the classification applies when the retail service provider does not own the transmission facilities).
21 See Wireline Broadband Internet Access Services Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 14864, para. 16 & n.44 (citing Report to 
Congress, 13 FCC Rcd at 11530, para. 59); id. at 14909–10, para. 103; id. at 14916 n.357 (“[S]ome providers of 
wireline broadband Internet access service may choose to offer a stand-alone broadband telecommunications service 
on a common carrier basis.  To the extent that they do so, they must continue to contribute to universal service 
mechanisms on a permanent basis pursuant to section 254(d).”).
22 Under the current universal service contributions system, providers of telecommunications services and certain 
providers of telecommunications must contribute to the universal service fund based on their end-user 
telecommunications revenues.  To avoid liability for universal service assessments for revenues that are deemed to 
be end user revenues, a wholesale provider needs to take reasonable steps to verify that its customers are resellers.  
The most common way for a company to do so is to obtain certifications from each reseller that it “is purchasing 
service for resale in the form of U.S. telecommunications” and that it “contributes directly to the federal universal 
service support mechanisms.” See 2010 FCC Form 499-A Instructions at 19.  A wholesale provider must contribute 
on its telecommunications revenues unless it reasonable expects that its customer will itself contribute on its 
revenues from reselling those services, and certification from the reseller may help establish the necessary

B. Request for Review
9. TelePacific is a competitive carrier in California and Nevada.  TelePacific’s business 
includes leasing T-1 lines from incumbent local exchange carriers and using them to sell to small business 
customers a bundle of services including Internet access services, email services, and other features.23  
TelePacific does not offer or sell stand-alone special access service to its retail customers.24 TelePacific 
asserts that its Internet access service is governed by the Commission’s precedent regarding wireline 
broadband Internet access service because it “uses existing or future wireline facilities of the telephone 
network to provide subscribers with Internet access capabilities” and that revenues from this service are 
not subject to universal service contribution requirements.25 TelePacific also offers its customers voice 
telephony services, often bundled with its Internet access service, over the same facilities.26 TelePacific 
asserts that it has previously and continues to contribute to the universal service fund for revenues derived 
from the company’s provision of voice telephony services.27
10. In its 2008 FCC Form 499-A (reporting revenues for 2007), TelePacific reported its 
revenues from its Internet access service as intrastate telecommunications revenues exempt from 
universal service contribution.28 TelePacific revised and re-filed its 2008 FCC Form 499-A and, in doing 
so, reclassified its Internet access service revenues as information service revenues not subject to 
universal service contribution.29
11. On December 10, 2009, USAC rejected TelePacific’s revised filing, finding that 
TelePacific’s service provided over T-1 lines is a basic transmission service that is classified by the 
Commission as a telecommunications service subject to universal service fund reporting and contribution 
obligations.30 In accordance with its finding, USAC ordered TelePacific to revise its 2008 FCC Form 
499-A and any other FCC Forms 499-A in which TelePacific reported its Internet access service revenues 
as exempt from contributions, and to refile the forms by February 8, 2010.31
12. On January 8, 2010, TelePacific requested that the Commission review USAC’s decision 
and stay the effect of that decision pending Commission review.32 In its request for review, TelePacific 
argues that USAC’s decision is inconsistent with the Wireline Broadband Internet Access Services 
(continued from previous page)    
expectation.  See Global Crossing Order, 24 FCC Rcd at 10825-26, para. 5.  Other evidence, such as a verification 
that a customer actually contributes each month based on its projected revenues, may also be used to help establish 
the necessary expectation. See 2010 FCC Form 499-A Instructions at 19.

III. DISCUSSION
13. Based on the record before us, we agree with TelePacific that its Internet access service is 
not currently subject to universal service contribution requirements.  We therefore direct USAC to accept 
TelePacific’s re-filed 2008 FCC Form 499-A.  However, we do not have sufficient information in the 
record to address TelePacific’s contention that no federal universal service contributions should be 
assessed on revenues derived from the sale of T-1 lines to TelePacific.
14. As noted above, in determining what revenues are subject to contribution, the 
Commission has made a distinction between revenues derived from offerings of “telecommunications” or 
“telecommunications services” and revenues derived from services classified as “information services” 
such as wireline broadband Internet access service.35 Wireline broadband Internet access service is 
defined as “a service that uses existing or future wireline facilities of the telephone network to provide 
subscribers with Internet access capabilities.”36 In the instant matter, USAC based its finding that 
TelePacific’s Internet service was subject to universal service requirements solely because the facilities 
(T-1 lines) used to provide the service are typically used for basic transmission service.37
15. We conclude that the USAC findings in the instant matter were in error under the 
Wireline Broadband Internet Access Services Order.38 In the present case, TelePacific leases T-1 lines 
and other high-capacity circuits from providers, and offers either broadband Internet access service or 
both broadband Internet access service and voice telephony to its end user customers, small businesses, 
over those lines.  TelePacific asserts under oath that it provides Internet access service as described in the 
Wireline Broadband Internet Access Order.39 Based on the record before us, we find that TelePacific’s 
Internet access service is a wireline broadband Internet access service under existing Commission 
precedent and that TelePacific is not required to make contributions based on revenues from sales of that 
service.40

40 TelePacific argues in an ex parte filing that it should not indirectly contribute to universal service for the T-1 lines 
it leases.  See Letter from Andrew D. Lipman, et al., Counsel for U.S. TelePacific, Corp. d/b/a TelePacific 
Communications, to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, at 1 (filed Feb. 1, 2010).  Whether a provider is able to 
pass through universal service contributions to end users in a particular circumstance depends on the relevant tariff 
or contractual relationship.

16. In conclusion, to protect the integrity of the universal service fund and ensure that all 
contribution obligations are fulfilled, we order TelePacific to provide to the Chief, Wireline Competition 
Bureau, a detailed explanation of the methodology by which TelePacific apportions revenues derived 
from its sale to end users of voice telephony and other services utilizing leased T-1 lines and how it 
reports such revenues on FCC Form 499-A, within 60 days of this order.  We further order TelePacific to 
provide USAC with the names and contact information of its wholesale providers of transmission services 
within 60 days of this order, so that USAC can assure that all contributions to universal service are 
promptly paid.41

41 All filing contributors are required to submit a revised FCC Form 499-A if they discover an error in the revenue 
data that they report.  See 2010 FCC Form 499-A Instructions at 11.  To the extent that TelePacific certified to a 
provider that TelePacific was contributing directly on certain revenues, that certification may have impacted the 
amount of revenues that TelePacific’s wholesale provider reported.  Accordingly, TelePacific’s wholesale providers 
may be required to revise reported revenue data as appropriate.  The provider may also rely on the terms of any 
agreements with TelePacific to assess TelePacific any pass-through charges that TelePacific avoided due to its 
reseller certifications.
