Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service

The Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service is a collaborative group involving federal and state regulators. Its main goal is to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable telecommunications services, including phone and internet. This board helps develop policies that support universal service, especially in rural and underserved areas, ensuring that everyone can connect regardless of their location or income level. By coordinating between federal and state levels, the board works to maintain equitable access to communications technology for all citizens.
