Re: When the FCC doesn't have the authority Then their authority needs to be expanded upon so they are not only in charge of frequencies, but they are in charge of all forms of communications be it light, frequencies, or smoke signals.
And just because wired technology is not wireless, does not mean it doesn't use a frequency to work. |

kudos:3 | You are right... I am very well aware of closed systems and how they use frequencies.. I'm very much experienced in this.
However, the FCC allocates and manages the AIR, not closed systems. The FCC really only gets involved in closed systems when they become open or egress their signals into competing signals.
What is transmitted OVER those signals should NOT be the concern of the FCC one bit.
And how do you intend on "expanding their authority"...? It's not so much WHAT they can do in their powers - that's easily done by congress.. its their authority to play the police rolls in HOW they handle the so called "offenders"...
Certain judgments and how they elect to impose a fine is something that constitutionally only the courts have the authority to do.. not simply just a government agency. Its a very gray but black and white area here and I'm not going to go deep into it as it would be a discussion of it's own. |
