FCC needs to pack sand and go away.. They serve the wrong people.
My complaint with the FCC is that in the era of cellular, the FCC was inspired to Auction the spectrum used by cellular operators. Not done for broadcasters. These auctions, long ignored by the media and press, have yielded 100's of billions of dollars. Where did it go (after the FCC spent as much of it as possible internally)? No 60 minutes episodes on that topic.
Without the FCC, you think there might be a few interference problems among communications services (police, fire, Federal/Local, broadcasters, CB, ISM bands)?
FCC's job is to make sure every one plays in same level field.FCC needs to pack sand and go away.. They serve the wrong people.
well, sort of. The ITU (International Telecommunications Union) formal treaties allocate and take away, as time passes, spectrum to the US (et al). The Federal NTIA keeps some as Federal only (military, FBI, Secret Service, etc.). The rest goes to the FCC. The NTIA authorizes Federal users in their spectrum. The FCC authorizes/licenses or (manages in the case of unlicensed) all other. Some spectrum is shared between Federal and via the FCC, to state/local, usually with Federal as primary, state/local as secondary. The non-shared spectrum under FCC's control gets licensed to public safety as 1st priority, cellular, broadcasters, special mobile radio (SMR such as utilities, taxis, etc.), Amateur Radio, and others. Some ITU bands are coordinated internationally as unlicensed, with 2.4GHz being the sole practical band for international unlicensed use.FCC's job is to make sure every one plays in same level field.
