  • “This report provides an overview of U.S. telecommunications industry revenues and contributions to the universal service support mechanisms over the past decade. The last report was released September 3, 2009. Most of the data for 2008 are taken from April 1, 2009 filings of annual Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets (FCC Form 499-A). Revenue data collected on these worksheets are utilized in the Commission’s administration of the universal service fund (USF), Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS), North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and local number portability (LNP) programs. FCC Form 499-A data also are used to calculate common carrier regulatory fees. Preliminary 2009 totals presented in Table 1, and 2009 and 2010 shares of universal service contributions by principal type of contributor presented in Table 12, are based on filings of quarterly Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets (FCC Form 499-Q). In 2008, the industry reported $297 billion in telecommunications service revenues, a small decrease from 2007’s $299 billion. Industry sector data include: Wireless industry revenues grew by 3% during 2008, from $121 billion to $124 billion; Filers reported $112 billion of local service revenues for 2008, about 1% less than the $113 billion reported for 2007.”
