The FCC, or Federal Communications Commission, is an independent agency of the United States government. Established in 1934, its primary role is to regulate interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. The FCC aims to ensure that all Americans have access to reliable communication services and to promote competition in the telecommunications industry. The FCC is responsible for implementing and enforcing laws related to communication, including licensing broadcasters and managing the radio frequency spectrum. It also addresses issues like net neutrality, media ownership, and public safety communications, ensuring that communication services are fair, accessible, and efficient for everyone.
