The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to make it effectively impossible for people to buy what many call burner phones—a phone not explicitly linked to your identity at the point of purchase—which would impact privacy-conscious people, to domestic abuse survivors, to journalists, and many more. The FCC plans to do this by legally forcing the country’s telecoms to store a wealth of personal information about essentially all phone customers, including a government issued...
Amazon Leo's satellite homework is late, but FCC won't flunk it just yet
Amazon is set to miss its deadline to deploy half of its Leo satellite constellation by July 30, as required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The agency has, however, granted it a waiver of sorts – at the cost of priority status in spectrum licensing. The Bezos-founded behemoth got the go-ahead from the FCC for what was then known as Project Kuiper back in 2020.

FCC launches sweeping review of $3B school internet subsidy program over screen time concerns
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced Wednesday it is launching a sweeping review of its school internet subsidy E-Rate program, citing concerns that increased screen time in schools may be contributing to declining academic performance. The E-Rate program provides roughly $3 billion annually in discounts for internet access and related connectivity services for eligible schools and libraries. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called the review necessary at a time when screen time...
Probing Nucleon Spin Structure with a Polarized Gamma Beam from Compton Backscattering at FCC-ee
Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a kinematic and optical design of a high-energy polarized gamma-ray facility based on Compton backscattering of lasers against the FCC-ee electron beams in its $Z$, $WW$, $ZH$ and $t\bar{t}$ modes. The conversion point is located in the FCC-ee full-energy booster, allowing parasitic CBS operation without dedicated interaction-point optics. Saturating the safe value of the kinematic parameter $\kappa = 4.35$ in each mode fixes the laser wavelength and...
Trump FCC asks public to comment on whether ABC's The View is a news show
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated a public inquiry to determine if ABC's *The View* qualifies as a "bona fide news interview program." This investigation concerns whether the talk show is exempt from the equal-time rule, which mandates that non-news programming must provide equal airtime to opposing political candidates. The probe is being driven by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who has been critical of the agency's independence.

FCC lifts looming deadline for Amazon Leo satellite broadband constellation
The Federal Communications Commission has waived a requirement for Amazon to launch half of its satellite broadband constellation by the end of July, a key regulatory reprieve that buys the tech giant time to get more of its spacecraft into orbit. Amazon won regulatory approval for the Amazon Leo network in July 2020. The FCC's authorization came with two deadlines.
Cable lobby warns of chaos if FCC doesn't relax ban on foreign routers
The cable industry's primary lobby group is seeking a waiver of the Federal Communications Commission ban on foreign routers, warning of potential chaos if cable Internet service providers can't change some of the components in routers they offer to home broadband users. In March, the FCC added all consumer-grade routers made at least partly outside the US to its Covered List, which imposes restrictions on devices deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to national security. The change affected...
