An $8 Billion Subsidy for Internet in Rural Schools, Libraries and Hospitals May Be Upheld By Supreme Court

Previously, there was no such thing,” said the ruling Neil Gorscuh. “I do not say that taxes are special. In this case, there is a tax in this trial, unlike other tax confirmed by this court.

The majority of judges are concerned about what the results of the program can be. These results are very real. The amount paid has changed over three years, but currently wins the FCC experience about $ 8 billion a year and uses cash to improve the Internet in US rural areas
