It all comes from the same pot - the USF.
That “pot” was worth billions until GWBush allowed cell phones. It immediately went into the red.

Who pays into the pot ? Anybody with a phone line that’s not subsidized.

Based on the rewrite that now considers broadband as a utility, I’m guessing some sort of tax will be put on Internet service that will go into the USF pot.

Yep......if you had a second phone line in your house you paid a penalty fee. If you look at the extra fees on your phone you can’t even fathom what they are. My last phone bill had 11 categories of fees and taxes.
