This legislation proposes to amend Section 254(b)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934, focusing on the expansion of the universal service principle . The core change involves explicitly adding consumers in Indian country and areas with high populations of Indian persons to the categories covered by this principle. This ensures that these specific communities are recognized for their need for access to telecommunications and information services. By doing so, the bill places them on par with rural, insular, and high-cost areas that are already prioritized for universal service provision. The overall objective is to enhance and guarantee equitable access to essential communication services for these underserved populations.
