Telecommunications regulatory bodies

Telecommunications regulatory bodies are government or independent organizations responsible for overseeing and managing the telecommunications industry. They set rules and standards to ensure fair competition, protect consumer rights, and maintain service quality. These agencies regulate aspects like licensing providers, spectrum allocation (the airwaves used for communication), and addressing issues such as interference and security. Their goal is to create a balanced environment where telecommunications services are reliable, accessible, and equitable for all users. Examples include the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. and the Office of Communications (Ofcom) in the UK.
