FCC Lays Down USF on Prepaid Calling Card Companies

Looks like most calling card and VoIP companies are now having to scramble to get in compliance with new laws requiring them to collect Universal Service Fund (USF) fees from all users. VoIP users will se it in additional fees on their monthly phone bill but calling card users will not see it directly as most providers will just build it into the rates. Where end users will notice it, is with less competitive per minute rates.

I guess it's only fair since Ma Bell has been having to collect these fees forever but in the end it just means less minutes for the money.
