Federal Communications Commission is a state-owned agency headquartered in the US, founded in 1934. The agency functions as an independent agency of the United States federal government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable across the United States.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted unanimously on May 2 to advance a proposal that would strip all testing labs in China and Hong Kong of their ability to certify electronics for sale in the U.S. due to national security concerns, a ruling that could affect 75 percent of U.S.-bound devices. Previously, on May 1, the FCC updated satellite rules focusing on how satellites share space and signals to prevent interference, a move supported by SpaceX but opposed by Viasat, which could boost satellite capacity sevenfold. The FCC had also relaxed limits earlier on May 1 for low-orbit satellites, removing key restrictions on how much energy they can transmit and receive from ground stations, a decision expected to lead to faster speeds, lower costs, and greater reliability for satellite internet providers such as Elon Musk’s Starlink.
