FCC

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States government, created by Congressional statute (see 47 U.S.C. § 151 and 47 U.S.C. § 154), and with the majority of its commissioners appointed by the current President. The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security. The Commission is also in the process of modernizing itself.

The FCC took over wire communication regulation from the Interstate Commerce Commission. The FCC's mandated jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions. However, the FCC also provides varied degrees of cooperation, oversight, and leadership for similar communications bodies in other countries of North America. The FCC has an estimated 2011 budget of US$335.8 million which is entirely funded by regulatory fees, and has a proposed budget of $354.2 million for 2012, which will also be fully derived from regulatory fees. It has 1,898 federal employees.

This is an indecency trial and this video has been marked "L Strong Language" using the YouTube rating system. There is an audio warning, a visual warning, and a YouTube warning. If you don't want to hear swear words, do not listen to this trial. Courtesy C-SPAN, courts.gov 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals 12/20/2006, C-SPAN Program ID: 195903-1 From C-SPAN's Description: Oral arguments were heard by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Fox Television v. Federal Communications Commission. Fox Television was challenging the FCC's indecency standards and the way it punished broadcasters for airing shows that contain profanity. The network argued that the government violated the First Amendment by embarking on a "radical reinterpretation and expansion" of its power to punish broadcasters for indecent speech. The network contended that the FCC sharply changed its standards for profanity, that the standards were vague and made little sense in the face of industry changes. The FCC fined Fox for language used by Cher and Nicole Richie on the live broadcasts of the 2002 and 2003 Billboard Music Awards, respectively.

The availability of the Internet depends on the structure and capabilities of underlying telecommunications networks. These networks in turn are influenced by government rules, particularly those of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The decisions the FCC will make over the next few years—including issues ranging from auctions for broadcast spectrum to the rules governing future landline networks—will have a substantial effect on the Internet. To examine these and related questions, Hudson Institute's Center for the Economics of the Internet is pleased to welcome former Chairman of the FCC, Richard Wiley. Wiley, Chairman of Wiley Rein LLP, heads the firm's 80-attorney Communications Practice, the largest in the nation. As Chairman of the FCC, he fostered increased competition and lessened regulation in the communications field. Mr. Wiley played a pivotal role in the development of HDTV in this country, serving for nine years as Chairman of the FCC's Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service. He represents a number of major communications-oriented organizations, including Verizon, AT&T;, JP Morgan, Credit Suisse, Newspaper Association of America, Motorola, CBS, Belo, Gannett, Sirius/XM, Emmis, Gray Television, and LG. Mr. Wiley is also a frequent author and lecturer on telecommunications and information law. He received an Honorary Doctor of Laws from The Catholic University of America, a LL.M. from Georgetown University Law Center, a J.D. from Northwestern University School of Law and his undergraduate degree, with distinction, from Northwestern University. Hudson Senior Fellow Harold Furchtgott-Roth interviewed Mr. Wiley and facilitated the discussion.
