Rapid advances in technology have resulted in innovations in how telecommunications
services are provided to, and are accessed by, users of those services.
Many of these advances are increasing the rate of convergence among categories
of services that have traditionally been viewed as distinct, such as cable
television services, telephony, data services, and internet services.
Regulations must be examined in light of these technology advances, and
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") must remain abreast
of new developments in technology so that it can effectively fulfill its
responsibilities under the Communications Act.
The purpose of the TAC is to provide technical advice to the Federal
Communications Commission and to make recommendations on the issues and
questions presented to it by the FCC. The TAC will address questions referred
to it by the FCC Chairman, or by the FCC Chief Technologist or Chief Engineer.
The questions referred to the TAC will be directed to technological and
technical issues in the field of communications.
