our guest is meredith attwell baker, guest reporter eliza crigman of politico. next topic. >> host: another issue that you guys are going to be looking at in february is reform of the universal service fund. could you delainuate for us what the agency can do on its own and what it needs congress to legislate? you guys are moving, and it's a little bit technical and confusing. >> guest: it is technically confusing. in fact, i use the word bone-crunchingly confusing. [laughter] it's an $8.8 billion fund. last quarter the contribution factor was 15.5%, and what that means is that it's a 15.5% tax on everyone's phone bill. so it's $8 on a $50 phone bill. that's a lot in an economic challenging time. it's clear that the fund is not sustainable, it's clear that it needs reform, and i think we have commitment from all five of the commissioners to move forward with that. congress is also very interested in this, and if congress has more ideas on how to revise this fund that's been traditionally for telephone for broadband, then, obviously, those ideas are very welcome.
