/AB	`ABSTRACT: Section 254(b)(3) of the 1996 Telecommunications Act established`
	`the objective that residents of rural areas should have access to`
	`advanced telecommunications and information services comparable to`
	`services in urban areas. Pursuant to the passage of the Act, the`
	`Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established a new universal`
	`fund that provides explicit support to high-cost rural areas. This`
	`paper addresses the question of whether people in rural areas have`
	`similar access due to the support provided through the Commission's new`
	`high-cost fund. This paper focuses on the telephone platform because`
	`cable companies often do not serve rural areas due to the high cost of`
	`service, and because there is no mechanism for the federal or state`
	`government to subsidize the provision of advanced telecommunications`
	`services via cable. The Act's objectives are apparently not being met`
	`in rural areas served by large companies since people living in these`
	`areas are much less likely to have qualified lines that could be used`
	`to access advanced telecommunications services. On the other hand,`
	`small companies are much closer to satisfying the statutory requirement`
	`as a result of the implicit support received through cost sharing.`
