telecommunication regulation

Telecommunication regulation involves government rules that oversee how phone, internet, and broadcast services are provided. These rules ensure fair competition among providers, protect consumer rights, and promote reliable service. Regulators may set standards for pricing, service quality, and spectrum use (the airwaves for wireless communication). The goal is to create a balanced environment where companies can innovate and compete while consumers have access to affordable and trustworthy communication services. Overall, regulation helps maintain a fair, efficient, and accessible telecommunications system that benefits society.
