- TRS each draw contributions from a larger pool of providers than does universal service. Specifically, all telecommunications carriers in the United States must contribute to meet the costs of NANPA (47 C.F.R. 52.17), and all telecommunications carriers that provide service in areas covered by the regional LNP database must contribute to meet the costs of LNP (47 C.F.R. 52.32). Thus, only those providers that are not carriers are not required to contribute. Cost recovery for TRS is slightly different. Every carrier providing interstate services must contribute to the TRS Fund (47 C.F.R. 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(A)). In this case, providers that are not carriers, and carriers that do not provide interstate services are not required to contribute. See Figure 3 of
