In follow-up to our recent advisory, the Wireline Competition Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission released a Public Notice earlier today seeking comment on a request for guidance filed by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) on the proper classification of text messaging revenues for purposes of reporting and contributing to the Universal Service Fund.  Specifically, USAC is seeking guidance on whether text messaging revenues should be reported as telecommunications revenue or non-telecommunications revenue.

Interested parties may file comments on or before June 6, 2011, and reply comments on or before June 20, 2011. All pleadings are to reference WC Docket No. 06-122.
