Good - we should not use fees and fines to pay for government services we wish to provide. It creates a situation where gov't agencies begin to exist for their own sake, and to levy such fees/fines to fund themselves, past the point at which they are serving their desired purpose.
If we want to provide "programs such as Lifeline discounts and Rural Digital Opportunity Fund deployment grants for ISPs," then we should just do that right out of the general fund. And as long as that cost sits there on the books we can continue to evaluate if we want to grow, shrink, or let it alone.
