This paper considers the intergovernmental relationships on telecommunications policy in the U.S. and EU with a case of universal service system. I would like to examine the federal preemption of state universal service regulations comparing with the EU member states and European Commission. In conclusions, the federal preemption of state universal service regulations is quite limited so that if the European Comission will establish the European "FCC" replaced by the ERG, they may need to admit National Regulatory Agencies more flexibility in policy-making.
