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.

This was a video project for my government class. Mike and I cover the reasons for why the Federal Communications Commission exists and if its purpose is useful today in the television censorship aspect. I animated this at 20fps on a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, and the conversation was recorded on a Zoom H2n mic.

The Federal Communications Commission is taking Sprint and Verizon to task for billing practices that hid extra charges in customers' bills. On Tuesday the agency ordered the carriers to pay settlements totaling more than $150 million for billing customers for third-party texting services, without their knowledge. Verizon will have to cough up a total of $90 million while Sprint will have to pay $68 million in fines. Of the $158 million, $120 million will go toward a customer redress program to pay back subscribers who were charged as a result of premium texting services they didn't sign up for for. This practice, known as "cramming," added as much as $14 per month to people's bills, with Verizon and Sprint pocketing 30% and 35% of the revenue. http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/Mashable/~3/uYS...
http://cnet.co/17PS5fG The Federal Communications Commission is considering lifting a ban on using cell phones inflight to make calls and access mobile data. The ban was originally put in place because of potential interference to wireless networks on the ground.

Last April, the Federal Communications Commission and the Knight Foundation launched the Apps for Communities Challenge (http://appsforcommunities.challenge.gov/) and challenged developers and citizens from across the country to develop apps that make local public information more personalized, usable, and accessible for all Americans; promote broadband adoption, particularly among Americans who are less likely to be regular Internet users including low-income, rural, residents on Tribal lands, seniors, people with disabilities, and the low digital/English literacy communities; and create better links between Americans and services provided by local, state, Tribal and federal governments. As a result, we received almost 70 entries from around the U.S., from California to Pennsylvania. Al...

O cheiro do inverno
Entra pela pele
Frio como a neve
Que eu nunca vi
Se não chover, todos verão
O inverno no seu corpo coberto
O gosto do inverno
Entra pelos olhos
Branco como as nuvens
Que eu nunca toquei
Se não amanhecer, todos verão
O inverno nos seus braços abertos
Refrão
Eu só ouço o silêncio
Quebrar o gelo do inverno
Eu só ouço o silêncio
Eu só ouço o silêncio
O cheiro do inverno
Entra pela sala
Leve como as flores
Que eu nunca te dei
Quando eu acordar, todos verão
O inverno no meu quarto deserto
O gosto do inverno
Anda de mãos dadas
Com o vento quente
Que nos envolveu
Quando eu acordar, todos verão
O inverno chegando mais perto
Refrão
Eu só ouço o silêncio
Quebrar o gelo do inverno
Eu só ouço o silêncio
Eu só ouço o silêncio
Quebrar o gelo do inverno
Eu só ouço o silêncio
Eu só ouço o silêncio
