Rural Health Care Support Mechanism ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-24-03-31683</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In this document, the Commission modifies its rules to improve 
the effectiveness of the rural health care support mechanism, which 
provides discounts to rural health care providers to access modern 
telecommunications for medical and health maintenance purposes. Because 
participation in the rural health care support mechanism has not met 
the Commission's initial projections, the Commission amends its rules 
to improve the program, increase participation by rural health care 
providers, and ensure that the benefits of the program continue to be 
distributed in a fair and equitable manner. In addition, the Commission 
denies Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary's petition for 
reconsideration of the 1997 Universal Service Order.

Rural Health Care Support Mechanism ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-24-03-31684</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In this document, the Commission seeks comment on 
modifications to the definition of ``rural area'' for the rural health 
care support mechanism, whether additional modifications to our rules 
are appropriate to facilitate the provision of support to mobile rural 
health clinics for satellite services, and additional outreach efforts 
and measures to streamline further the application process.
