The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating interstate and international communications through radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. Its role includes managing spectrum allocation, licensing broadcasters, ensuring fair competition, and protecting consumers. The FCC sets rules to maintain a free and open communications environment, address issues like broadcast decency, and promote innovation. Essentially, it oversees how we send and receive information via various electronic media, ensuring these systems work efficiently, fairly, and responsibly for the public.
