The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 as the successor to the Federal Radio Commission and is charged with regulating all non-Federal Government use of the radio spectrum (including radio and television broadcasting), and all interstate telecommunications (wire, satellite and cable) as well as all international communications that originate or terminate in the United States. It is an important factor in US telecommunication policy. The FCC took over wire communication regulation from the Interstate Commerce Commission.

My experience with the FCC was in Television work. I had to follow their guidelines and company policy. I had to Log to a 1/10th of a second what was being broadcast when I pull the switch. The rules and policies are very strict and must be followed.
