It's also pretty old ground--old too, in that so-called "lifeline service," which we have here, and which the FCC provides incentives for, is generally the "subsidy" you seem to refer to, and can be done re: both flat-rated and measured service. On the other hand, Dan's position, as you describe it, to effect that LMS connotes equity, is only one taken by the uninformed and, interestingly enough, by the telcos.
