| Funding
I think the FCC is self funded. The two may threaten to block funding, but that's not all of congress, let alone, the FCC's general funding. If they convince congress to block funding, that's only for a specific project that was enacted by congress for a specific purpose, the digital transition.
That's not to say congress could dissolve (or strip power, etc) the FCC with a 2/3rd majority in both houses, or less with the president's node.
Anyone have any information on how the FCC is funded? I'm 99% sure it's from licensing and not congress.
I don't think Martin is shaking in his boots. His term is not infinite like a congressman/women. |
