CTC Telecom Inc. to get money to expand wireless in Idaho counties
CTC Telecom Inc. http://www.ctcweb.net/ will use the money to serve Boise, Gem, Adams and northern Washington counties.
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission ruled that CTC Telecom, which will operate as Snake River PCS, qualifies as an "eligible telecommunications carrier."
The designation means the wireless carrier can receive about $171,300 each year from the federal Universal Service Fund.
Congress created the fund to ensure that telephone consumers in rural areas – where it costs more to build a telephone network – can have access to the same telecommunications services as consumers in urban areas at roughly the same cost. All telephone companies providing interstate service contribute to the fund.
