Communication Act

The Communication Act is a U.S. law that governs broadcasting, telecommunications, and communications by radio, television, and the internet. Its main purpose is to ensure fair access to communication services and to promote competition among providers. It regulates how these companies operate, including issues of decency, licensing, and protecting consumer interests. The act also aims to prevent monopolies and ensure that all Americans have access to reliable communication services. Over the years, it has been updated to address new technologies and changes in the communications landscape.
