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) proposed expanding its ban on telecommunications and surveillance equipment from select Chinese companies deemed national security risks on April 4. This move would include previously authorized devices still allowed into the U.S. market, building on the FCC's 2022 decision to halt approvals for new models from companies such as Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua. Previously, the FCC announced on March 23 that it would ban the sale of new foreign-made Wi-Fi routers, citing "unacceptable risks" to national security, though this ban does not affect existing authorized routers. Earlier, on April 3, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed the FCC's initiatives to streamline broadband permitting and preempt conflicting state regulations, asserting that regulatory certainty is essential for accelerating network deployment. Also on April 3, the FCC submitted budgetary estimates to Congress for fiscal year 2027, projecting a 4.3% reduction in budget authority from regulatory fee revenue, dropping to $398.3 million from $416.1 million in FY 2026, while anticipating a decrease in total spending on salaries and expenses to $531.0 million from $548.8 million in FY 2026.
