For our friends in the #USA from the #FCC: On July 7, 2025, the FCC released an Order establishing the total size of the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Fund for the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and the percentages of revenue that covered service providers must contribute to the TRS Fund.

The net funding requirement for the TRS Fund year is $1,479,568,862, a reduction of $11 million over the prior fund year.

This item follows last week’s Order approving TRS compensation rates for the same period (located at https://www.fcc.gov/consumer-governmental-affairs/fcc-releases-2025-26-trs-fund-compensation-rates-order).
