• Leasing As a Strategic Financing Option: The Navy's Maritime Prepositioned Ships Experience

Recently, leasing has been prominent in the press due to the Air Force's recent ill-fated attempt to obtain the use of Boeing re-fueling tankers. Forgotten is that, in the early 1980's, a highly controversial Navy long-term leasing program of Maritime Prepositioned Ships had a different result. However, an unintended consequence of the Navy's success was that future government leases were practically eliminated. This research examines the issues and parties involved in this unprecedented creative and innovative leasing program for ships used by the Navy's Military Sealift Command. While the analysis concludes that the Navy's leasing program was successful and cost effective, laws and policies were changed so that long-term leasing is no longer viable for the strategic financing of milit...

• Connect America Fund; A National Broadband Plan for Our Future; Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates for Local Exchange Carriers; High-Cost Universal Service Support

In a rule published November 29, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) comprehensively reformed and modernized the universal service and intercarrier compensation systems to ensure that robust, affordable voice and broadband service, both fixed and mobile, are available to Americans throughout the nation.

The Commission uses measured but firm glide paths to provide industry with certainty and sufficient time to adapt to a changed regulatory landscape, and establish a framework to distribute universal service ...
