It was a $half billion. And obviously the FCC never gave it to anybody; as I wrote right there in the very posting you replied to, landline subscribers were taxed for it.

A $half billion seemed like a lot of money back then.

Per rasz's link, it is $400B and rising.

Only the reduced number of landlines in use makes it rise more slowly.
