The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating interstate and international communications via radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. Established in 1934, the FCC oversees policies that impact telecommunications, broadband, and public safety communications.
The FCC plays a crucial role in shaping regulations for emerging technologies, including VoIP, digital faxing, and broadband expansion. It ensures fair competition, consumer protection, and the modernization of telecommunications infrastructure across the country.
