Legal Alert:
USF Enforcement Clients and
Interested Parties:
Recently, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) levied a financial
penalty for Universal Service Fund (USF)
violations that represents its largest to
date. Global Crossing North America, Inc.,
and two of its subsidiaries (collectively,Global Crossing) apparently failed to
make timely required USF contributions.
Based on its enforcement investigation,
the Commission proposed a $10 million
penalty or forfeiture for the violations.
The proposed forfeiture dwarfs the vast
majority of financial penalties issued by
the FCC to date for USF violations.
