How The Fcc Makes Its Rules

It's been hard to go a day without hearing news about the Chairman of the FCC, Tom Wheeler, and his highly contested plan for the future of network neutrality. Google and Netflix signed a letter with nearly 150 other Internet companies calling on the FCC to reconsider its plan, which would purportedly bless the creation of "Internet fast lanes." Over a million people across the country have spoken out against that idea, worried that a "pay to play" Internet will be less hospitable to competition, innovation, and expression.Read more...

  • What's the deal w/ FCC's website?
    To be fair, the FCC has a big database. But so do a lot of other resources on the web. The performance of the FCC website has been horrible for a long time, as in unreliable. It's been that way for years. Nothing new. They obviously do not care. But, they are the only game in town. Which usually leads to the "do not care" attitude.

  • GMRS repeater linking and the FCC
    At the end of the day, the FCC's opinion is the only one that matters. One's license is a privilege not a right, and the FCC isn't an agency that operates by criminal evidentiary rules- they find fact with those who violate their rules, and issue NOVs and NALs accordingly, and modify/suspend/revoke accordingly.

  • Was there a recent FCC opinion prohibiting GMRS repeater linking via IP ...
    The only documented response from the FCC is in this Reddit (which is trash, Reddit is trash) is that yes and no, yes if the VoiP connection is provided someone other than the local telephone company, in other words, your IP connection is via the cable company, a wireless telecom provider (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T Mobility) but if it's the telcom provider (DSL) it's prohibited.
