A regulatory what?

August 16th, 2010 by Gray Brooks - FCC New Media

The business of regulatory agencies can sometimes be a bit obscure.  There is a swath of legislation known as administrative law that governs how the Federal Communications Commission serves the public.  The same applies to sister agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration , and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  It is very important to all of us to make the FCC as open and transparent an agency as possible, but also to make the work that we do more understandable and accessible to everyone.  Whether blogging about upcoming litigation or sharing a screencast of how to file a formal consumer complaint, we’ll continue to scale out and revamp these efforts.   

Regulations.gov, EPA, and others recently held a contest asking citizens to submit videos explaining the federal rulemaking process and showing why it matters to you and me.  The winner was recently announced and we wanted to share it here at FCC.gov, too.  Enjoy!

    Only Problem here is we are a FREE Country, we are not like China which does in fact censure all Internet access and a multitude of other Human Rights Violations. As far as Comcast, those of us who know them know of their "Down-Grading" within Peaks hours which is BS, we all know that.

    Third way? Ha How about beginning to apply the law passed June 19, 1934. On Page 8 in paragraph (51) WIRE COMMUNICATIONS was required to be regulated just like other communications.
    I have attempted to have the Supreme Court order the FCC to regulate COMMUNICATIONS BY WIRE that are being called \Internet\ or \IP Services\ simply for a disguise. The United States' \Open Internet\ has been illegal due to trafficking in pornography since created. The Comcast Dilemma? A Third Way? I demanded that the FCC call the Internet WIRE COMMUNICATIONS as explicitly defined on page 8 in paragraph (51) of the Communications Act of 1934. The way has been there but ignored by horny guys hoping to protect their abilities to masturbate while surfing for PORN anywhere in the world.
