Federal Communications Commission

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an agency of the United States government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable across the United States.
==History==
In 1934, Congress passed the Communications Acthttps://bja.ojp.gov/program/it/privacy-civil-liberties/authorities/statutes/1288, abolishing the Federal Radio Commission and transferred jurisdiction over radio licensing to the new FCC.
When television stations were being assigned to various cities after World War II, the FCC found that it placed many stations too close to each other, resulting in interference. As a result of that, alongside another situation, the FCC stopped giving out construction permits for new licenses in 1948, under the direction of Chairman Rosel H. Hyde.https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-FCC/FCC-Annual-Reports/FCC-12th-1946.pdf
In 1996, Congress enacted the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in the wake of the breakup of AT&T resulting from the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust suit against AT&T.https://www.justice.gov/archive/atr/public/press_releases/1974/338834.pdf The legislation attempted to create more competition in local telephone service by requiring Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers to provide access to their facilities for Competitive Local Exchange Carriers.
