Federal Communications Commission
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) to regulate interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing itself.
The FCC was formed by the Communications Act of 1934 to replace the radio regulation functions of the Federal Radio Commission. 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 Political divisions of the United States. The FCC also provides varied degrees of cooperation, oversight, and leadership for similar communications bodies in other countries of North America. The FCC is funded entirely by regulatory fees. It has an estimated fiscal-2016 budget of US$388 million. It has 1,720 federal employees.

Future Policy for the Federal Communications Commission
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.

The FCC Wants The Future Of Net Neutrality To Not Include Net Neutrality
On December 14, the FCC will consider and vote on Chairman Ajit Pai’s “Restoring Internet Freedom” proposal, which would reclassify internet service — now considered a Title II “utility” — as an “information service.” The proposal, which is expected to pass on a party-line 3-2 vote, would end a 2015 policy known as “net neutrality,” and give internet service providers significantly more power over what their customers do on the internet and how they access it. Pai, his Republican allies, and the telecom industry promise that this will allow the internet to flourish and stimulate investment in broadband internet infrastructure. Critics and experts argue, however, that this policy change will simply remove the FCC-imposed barriers that prevent telecoms from abusing their power over the cont...

Life After US Telecom v FCC: The Future of Communications Law
Since its creation more than 80 years ago, the Federal Communications Commission has acquired significant regulatory responsibilities. Among other things, the agency influences what the American public hears on the radio, determines which TV channels viewers receive, collects and distributes phone subsidies, and oversees telecommunications and media mergers. Lately, as content increasingly moves to the Internet, the FCC has begun to apply its legacy regulations to new media. Most notably, in 2015 the agency created common carrier “net neutrality” rules, which ensnare Internet and tech companies in the agency’s regulatory processes. These rules were recently upheld in federal court in United States Telecom Association v. FCC, and the outcome will have ramifications for the future of media a...

You might soon be asked to pay hundreds of dollars just to be heard by your own government — here's what you need to know about the FCC's new rules.

The FCC is changing the way it reviews complaints — and it might eventually lead to you paying $225 just to be heard by your own government.
The Federal Communications Commission approved new changes to its complaint system that makes it easier for the agency to review consumer feedback regarding issues with data plans, internet service providers, and other types of telecommunications. So, essentially, the agency whose job it is to make sure you aren’t being overcharged by Comcast or AT&T; now wants you to pay them to do that job.
They currently have two types of complaint systems: informal and formal. Informal complaints aren’t serious and don’t carry that much weight since they don’t get resolved individually by the agency. But formal complaints make more of an impact since they work similarly to the court proceeding. But those will cost you $225 just to file.
They’ve also changed the wording in the informal complaint procedures, so commissioners can just forward complaints to the targeted company without even reviewing them. Then, they can request that consumers file the expensive formal complaint form if they’re not satisfied.
There’s no evidence that the FCC will start ignoring complaints tomorrow, but the language change does signal to consumers that they either need to pay to be heard or risk having their complaints lost in the void.

(24 Apr 2014) NEW RULES ARE COMING FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION THAT WOULD ALLOW INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS TO CHARGE CONTENT COMPANIES FOR FASTER DELIVERY TO PEOPLE'S HOMES.

SOUNDBITE (English) John Bergmayer, Senior Staff Attorney, Public Knowledge
"Essentially what ISPs, some of them, want to do is create an artificial roadblock that prevents websites from working well and prevents Internet services from working well and then charging content companies to get around that artificial roadblock that they created."
IN ORDER TO WIN APPROVAL, THE FCC SAYS DEALS WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED "COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE." JOHN BERGMAYER IS CONCERNENED THEY RUN AFOUL OF "NET NEUTRALITY" RULES.
SOUNDBITE (English) John Bergmayer, Senior Staff Attorney, Public Knowledge
The core of net neutrality is that different Internet services and different sources of content online are to be treated equally. This instead is more of a pay for play model where if you have a lot of money you can pay for priority access."
CONSUMER ADVOCATES WORRY THE CHANGES WOULD BENEFIT DEEP-POCKETED INTERNET GIANTS LIKE NETFLIX, GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK OVER SMALLER COMPANIES.
AND THAT IN THE END, ITS THE CONSUMER ENDING UP FOOTING THE BILL.
SOUNDBITE (English) John Bergmayer, Senior Staff Attorney, Public Knowledge
"If a popular online service if any Internet company has to start paying someone when it never paid anyone before for this new kind of fee for the fast lane service they're going to have no choice but to raise costs to their customers."
THE DRAFT RULES WILL BE VOTED ON THIS SUMMER AFTER A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

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.

You might soon be asked to pay hundreds of dollars just to be heard by your own government — here's what you need to know about the FCC's new rules.

The FCC is changing the way it reviews complaints — and it might eventually lead to you paying $225 just to be heard by your own government.
The Federal Communications Commission approved new changes to its complaint system that makes it easier for the agency to review consumer feedback regarding issues with data plans, internet service providers, and other types of telecommunications. So, essentially, the agency whose job it is to make sure you aren’t being overcharged by Comcast or AT&T; now wants you to pay them to do that job.
They currently have two types of complaint systems: informal and formal. Informal complaints aren’t serious and don’t carry that much weight since they don’t get resolved individually by the agency. But formal complaints make more of an impact since they work similarly to the court proceeding. But those will cost you $225 just to file.
They’ve also changed the wording in the informal complaint procedures, so commissioners can just forward complaints to the targeted company without even reviewing them. Then, they can request that consumers file the expensive formal complaint form if they’re not satisfied.
There’s no evidence that the FCC will start ignoring complaints tomorrow, but the language change does signal to consumers that they either need to pay to be heard or risk having their complaints lost in the void.

On December 14, the FCC will consider and vote on Chairman Ajit Pai’s “Restoring Internet Freedom” proposal, which would reclassify internet service — now considered a Title II “utility” — as an “information service.” The proposal, which is expected to pass on a party-line 3-2 vote, would end a 2015 policy known as “net neutrality,” and give internet service providers significantly more power over what their customers do on the internet and how they access it.
Pai, his Republican allies, and the telecom industry promise that this will allow the internet to flourish and stimulate investment in broadband internet infrastructure. Critics and experts argue, however, that this policy change will simply remove the FCC-imposed barriers that prevent telecoms from abusing their power over the content and services delivered over their networks.

Since its creation more than 80 years ago, the Federal Communications Commission has acquired significant regulatory responsibilities. Among other things, the agency influences what the American public hears on the radio, determines which TV channels viewers receive, collects and distributes phone subsidies, and oversees telecommunications and media mergers. Lately, as content increasingly moves to the Internet, the FCC has begun to apply its legacy regulations to new media. Most notably, in 2015 the agency created common carrier “net neutrality” rules, which ensnare Internet and tech companies in the agency’s regulatory processes. These rules were recently upheld in federal court in United States Telecom Association v. FCC, and the outcome will have ramifications for the future of media and the boundaries of FCC authority.

(24 Apr 2014) NEW RULES ARE COMING FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION THAT WOULD ALLOW INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS TO CHARGE CONTENT COMPANIES FOR FASTER DELIVERY TO PEOPLE'S HOMES.
THE FCC SAYS GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT WILL ENSURE THAT COMPETITION AND FREE SPEECH WONT BE AFFECTED, BUT CONSUMER ADVOCATES SAY IT WILL CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE THAT WILL ALLOW FOR HIGHER COSTS.
SOUNDBITE (English) John Bergmayer, Senior Staff Attorney, Public Knowledge
"Essentially what ISPs, some of them, want to do is create an artificial roadblock that prevents websites from working well and prevents Internet services from working well and then charging content companies to get around that artificial roadblock that they created."
IN ORDER TO WIN APPROVAL, THE FCC SAYS DEALS WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED "COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE." JOHN BERGMAYER IS CONCERNENED THEY RUN AFOUL OF "NET NEUTRALITY" RULES.
SOUNDBITE (English) John Bergmayer, Senior Staff Attorney, Public Knowledge
The core of net neutrality is that different Internet services and different sources of content online are to be treated equally. This instead is more of a pay for play model where if you have a lot of money you can pay for priority access."
CONSUMER ADVOCATES WORRY THE CHANGES WOULD BENEFIT DEEP-POCKETED INTERNET GIANTS LIKE NETFLIX, GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK OVER SMALLER COMPANIES.
AND THAT IN THE END, ITS THE CONSUMER ENDING UP FOOTING THE BILL.
SOUNDBITE (English) John Bergmayer, Senior Staff Attorney, Public Knowledge
"If a popular online service if any Internet company has to start paying someone when it never paid anyone before for this new kind of fee for the fast lane service they're going to have no choice but to raise costs to their customers."
THE DRAFT RULES WILL BE VOTED ON THIS SUMMER AFTER A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

Hudson Institute hosts a conversation with Thomas Hazlett, former chief economist of the FCC and one of the world’s leading experts on spectrum policy, as he discusses market-based approaches to spectrum allocation. The FCC proposal favors some business models over others, introduces transaction costs, and may foreclose efficiency gains from other competitive uses of spectrum.
Federal Communications Commission
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) to regulate interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing itself.
The FCC was formed by the Communications Act of 1934 to replace the radio regulation functions of the Federal Radio Commission. 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 Political divisions of the United States. The FCC also provides varied degrees of cooperation, oversight, and leadership for similar communications bodies in other countries of North America. The FCC is funded entirely by regulatory fees. It has an estimated fiscal-2016 budget of US$388 million. It has 1,720 federal employees.

The Commission
by: As Bold As LionsI’m so fed up with what I see
People around me aren’t living for anything
Distracted, destructive
I won’t stay quiet while things get worse
I mean every word that I say
This world is always against me but I’m staying the
same
If you don’t stand up for what’s in your heart,
Time will see the end of us
But take heart
When your life begins to bring you down
You’ll always find the will to stand
Shoulder to shoulder we will stand together
Don’t waste a moment of the time we have
Give me the power to take up my cross
I need Your strength to shine a light to the lost
And when the weight of the world begins to crush me
Fill me with righteous anger
Come and fill me up with righteous anger
I need a hand when my guilt gets me down
In this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome this
I have overcome this world
