The universal service charge is a monthly fee that is charged to all customers of US cellular. The purpose of this fee is to help the company defray the costs of providing service to rural areas. In addition, the universal service charge helps to offset the costs of developing and maintaining the wireless infrastructure. Without this charge, US cellular would not be able to provide service to its customers in rural areas. In addition, the universal service charge helps to ensure that all customers have access to the same level of service. This charge is applied equally to all customers, regardless of their location or income. As a result, the universal service charge is an important way for US cellular to maintain its commitment to providing quality service to all of its customers.
