communications regulation

Communications regulation refers to the rules and laws that govern how information is transmitted through various mediums like phones, internet, and broadcasting. These regulations ensure fair access, protect consumer rights, prevent harmful interference, and promote competition among service providers. Regulatory agencies, such as the FCC in the U.S., set standards for quality, security, and privacy, balancing industry interests with public needs. Their goal is to create a reliable, accessible, and secure communication system that benefits society as a whole.
