  • Federal Communications Commission FCC 11-161 Savings
    Federal Communications Commission FCC 11-161 savings. 15. Even taking this conservative approach, staff estimates consumer benefits averaging approximately $1.5 billion a year between 2016 and 2018. This does not include any estimate of savings to carriers as a result of reduced ICC disputes, or the value of increased certainty in ICC receipts and obligations. These omissions are especially significant given that the $1.5 billion benefits estimate reflects a comparison of ICC revenues under reform to a trended no-reform baseline: ICC payment declines under the no-reform baseline would likely be accompanied by significant and growing billing disputes, which impose real costs on carriers, and ultimately consumers. Reform reduces total ICC payments without imposing these costs. Given this, and given the other ways in which the $1.5 billion estimate is conservative, staff concluded that actual benefits to consumers are likely to fall somewhere between this amount and the $2.6 billion upper bound described above, derived based on untrended 2010 revenues. For example, were one to simply take the midpoint between these values, it would be approximately $2.1 billion per year. Consumer Payments: Access Recovery Charges 16. Weighed against these consumer benefits, staff estimated that, at their peak, the annual cost to consumers of ARC increases will likely be less than $500 million per year, including ARCs paid by businesses, which we expect will be passed through, in whole or in part, to customers, and ARCs paid by consumers directly.
