Part of a series on universal service, Apples
and Oranges, helped federal and state regulators sort through a variety of
studies, each producing a different amount for subsidies inherent in
traditional telephone industry prices. The studies ranged from $1 billion
to $20 billion. Each study asks and answers a different question; and
therefore, the results are not directly comparable. For each study, this
paper shows the question, amount, the approach, the data set, and type of
subsidy.
