AG Weiser is leading a bipartisan effort urging the court to keep in place a fund that supports internet and phone service for millions of people living in rural areas in Colorado and across the country. “Coloradans rely on the Universal Service Fund for internet and phone service in their communities and they could lose affordable service if the Supreme Court nullifies the fund. For rural Coloradans, affordable broadband, wireline, and wireless service is essential to their participation in the modern economy, access to education and health care, and participation in our democratic republic. That’s why Congress created this important program. Getting rid of it would be devastating for Colorado communities and the providers that serve them.” -AG Weiser
