Regulatory Cost Recovery

Regulatory Cost Recovery is assessed on all interstate telecommunications services subject to the Federal Universal Service Fund assessment. One of the major programs we enforce under the rules of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is a nationwide system of telecommunications relay services (TRS). TRS permits people who are not hearing impaired to talk to those with hearing disabilities, and vice versa. Speech-to-Speech is one of many services of TRS. Such fees or charges assessed by EATEL are a pass through of charges assessed by the applicable regulatory agency.For more information, visit http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro/trs.html.

* Customers with a bundled or "flat" rate long distance service plans will be assessed a percentage of the bundled or flat rate pricing times the Regulatory Cost Recovery percentage.

USC (Universal Service Charge)

This charge is a federal government program that helps bring affordable basic phone service to all Americans. The program also assists schools, libraries and rural health care providers in obtaining phone service. The charge is a variable percentage that is established by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Such fees or charges assessed by EATEL are a pass through of charges assessed by the applicable regulatory agency.

* Customers with a bundled or "flat" rate long distance service plans will be assessed a percentage of the bundled or flat rate pricing times the USC percentage.
