the communications and high-tech arenas, including
those affecting the deployment of next generation
wireless and satellite systems, digital television and
other broadcast services, various radio transmission
services, IP networks, public safety and homeland
security. They also promote the deployment of
broadband technologies as well as access to
communications services for Americans with
disabilities, and protect the rights of consumers.
The FCC’s work also involves interacting with other
government agencies, Congress and the private sector
to resolve complex policy issues.
