The Organization for the Promotion and Advancement of Small Telecommunications Companies (OPASTCO) has voiced their support for Senator Ted Stevens work with the "Communications, Consumer's Choice, and Broadband Deployment Act of 2006."
According to the article Rural, Small Telco Interests Praise Stevens Bill, John Rose, the OPASTCO President, said that "this is a good bill, and it is obvious that Sen. Stevens worked with many others to ensure that the USF is a sustainable resource for consumers everywhere. Sen. Stevens is to be commended for including provisions on video access that will not only provide consumers with more choice, but will also make deployment of broadband services by rural telephone companies easier." Work on the bill began today.
