Re: Hope it does well >FCC doesn't pass laws. they pass rules.
Really? So if I deliberately interfere with a radio station, I can't go to jail?
What is the difference between a 'law' and a 'rule'? |

Toledo, OH | The difference is Congress NEVER gave them the power to create laws. They gave them the power to create rules. And that is a rule not a law.
A law is passed/put into effect by someone that has the power (Congress or other legal bodies) others issue RULES. Even the IRS for the most part uses RULES and not Laws but they have the power to use both. |

Well put. Overseas, their equivalent FCC and consumer protection agencies have the authority to smack down these companies.
This is why the have common cellar frequencies and technology, allowing for legitimate competition. Or mandating that handsets have to be unlocked, allowing the customer to choose who to use with their handsets.
The excellent and competitive products and services offered abroad speaks for itself. Whereas, we allowed the 'free market' (aka the corrupt) to pull the string here and have been forced to bend over and take it. |

Only congress can pass bills and the president signs them into law. As he stated, agencies can only pass rules under the authority granted to them by congress. |

| Ok, but what is the effective difference? It seems that agencies (FCC, IRS) have their own courts(?) but if I can be sentenced to prison time for willful radio interference or not paying taxes is there really a difference; or is it name only? |
