Universal Service System for Broadband Service

The Universal Service System for Broadband Service is designed to ensure the secure and stable provision of broadband services in designated support areas. By categorizing certain broadband services as fundamental telecommunication services (universal services), the system addresses the future challenge of maintaining fiber optic infrastructure in regions where profitability is declining due to shrinking population and geographic conditions, such as outlying islands and mountainous areas.
